WMS Returning Non serialised items

In order to return non serialised items in WMS, there are now some additional options which allow for easier scanning/entry

In the main Goods In page, the wording of the return button has been slightly altered to now read the more generic option as : Scan Returned Items :

This will verify your intended 'effective' return date first - the purpose here simply being that if it is a Monday morning, and you know that a pile of gear came back late on a Friday, by setting the 'effective' return date as Friday, it will not cause TBS to alert users to any potential additional charges for late return (if your preferences are set to do that) - after setting the date you are at the normal scan entry screen:

Obviously for all normal stock items, simply scan the item to have it identified by WMS and returned from whichever job it is out on - however what we have added at this point is some additional logic for 'special' items - firstly, as all TBS stock items have a barcode, if you are returning a non-serialised item, then scan (or enter) the stock item barcode of the non serialised item (if you use any kind of barcode 'sheet' or the like for often used non-serialised items such as cables) - here it *does not matter* if the non serialised allocations were allocated or not - what WMS returns now is a list of *all* open allocations of the associated stock description - so here we had scanned the barcode 4111 :

NOTE : you will see that we have had returned *all* the open allocation lines for that description, whether allocated or not, only based upon them being working or returned unchecked

Here you can select any lines that you are actually returning here, adjusting the quantity returned if required, and then clicking on the Return Selected button as normal

WMS Returning additional items

Here is the special piece we have added - at the 'Scan Item' page, if you are wanting to check back in (for example) some sub hired equipment, you can enter into the Scan field the word : 'sub' in order to get a list of all open sub hired gear :

Again this follows the same principle as for non-serialised items where you can select and adjust the quantity and simply Return Selected

Also you can enter in to the Scan Item field any *partial* supplier name, in order to see all open allocations of that supplier :

Which gives you :
