NOTE: These instructions refer to keeping equipment when the "MS Keep as Stock Transfer" is NOT selected.
If equipment has been requested from another location, it is assumed that the equipment will return to the origin location, but the equipment will be unavailable during the defined transit time. However, there may be times when you suddenly wish to keep the equipment in the second location, but you do not wish to change ownership of the equipment. In this event, you will then KEEP the equipment, which will convert your job transfer into an equipment loan with an open ended date back. The equipment will then appear in the loans out window of the origin location.
To Keep equipment in a second location:
1. Open the equipment list
2. Return as normal using either the barcode or by entering the quantity returned.
3. Select the equipment you wish to Keep using your right mouse button, so they are highlighted as shown.
4. Menu: Edit
5. A padlock will appear next to the equipment that is being kept.
6. The equipment is now Loaned out to that site and becomes available for other rentals. The Kept equipment is now displayed in the Loans Window:
NOTE: If you are Keeping Barcoded Items, the Location of the Barcode stored in the Equipment Book will change to the keeping location. However, the owner will remain as the original owner of the barcode.
