Send is the same as “Checking Out” your booking. The same goes for Return this means “Checking In” your inventory after a customer is done with the booking.
These steps are completely optional. They can be useful if you want to track what bookings are out or in.
Another optional feature is that you can override your rental inventory reservation start date with the date the rental is Sent, or do an “early” check-in by returning the reservation before it was due. This feature is described in the Rentals Settings under Inventory Rules
