## Prorating Product Rent

Prorate is an optional feature that enables you to edit or prorate rental rate amounts on Shipments to equal a specific amount for a rental cycle.

> **Note:** The Prorate feature is turned on in [the **Shipments and Scaffolds** tab](/v1/docs/about-the-global-options-dialog-shipments-and-scaffolds-tab) in [the *Global Options* dialog](/v1/docs/the-global-options-dialog). If enabled, the **Products** tab of the *New Direct Ship* dialog displays the **Prorate Rent** button.

To prorate Product rent:

1. Locate and click the appropriate Product, then click the **Prorate** button and select how you want to prorate, by weight and quantity or by list and quantity. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/ae69c864-58f0-4711-91e1-d1c2f7dff95f/Images/Documentation/image-JMRPT4PM.png) The *Prorate* dialog appears.
