Haven’t used it but this might be a place to look, looks like you can configure products/rentals against an asset.

Hello James,

AFAIK, there is no direct support available in OFBiz which will help you
set up the exact requirement you mentioned.

You can refer to the Rental Store in OFBiz[1]. This is an example of a
hotel reservation system that is not exactly as per your requirement but it
can help you get basic idea.

Hello James,

While in OFBiz there is functionality regarding ordering and delivery (and
invoicing) regarding 'rental services' the functionality regarding monthly
invoicing is under developed. This issue appeared only once before (back in
2011).

In order to enable the community to not forget about this feature (and
follow it up with growing insights etc.), I suggest you raise a ticket in
our Jira. This way the project can keep everything related in one
environment and track progress.

Met vriendelijke groet,

Pierre Smits
