NOTE: These instructions refer to keeping equipment when the "MS Keep as Stock Transfer" IS 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, and you 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 transfer. The equipment will then appear in the audit trail as a permanent transfer.
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. You are then prompted to confirm the equipment is being kept:
6. A padlock will appear next to the equipment that is being kept.
7. The equipment is now permanently moved from location 2 to location 1 and an entry is made in the audit trail.
NOTE: If you are Keeping Barcoded Items, the owner and location of the barcode will change to the new location.
