Receive the actual unit at its real location before beginning recovery. Use a new return reference for this visit and the existing unit identity when the same object returns. A return record establishes receipt; it does not establish ownership permission or component suitability.
Record what arrived
Open Receive a return and choose a known Returned unit for another visit, or enter a new unit. Use the Unit reference physically attached to it. Enter its model, model revision and manufacturer serial only when known. Record Return reference, Owner reference, category where known, actual location and observation.
Choose Record physical receipt. Receiving and hold locations are permitted for intake. Unknown model information can remain blank; the unit stays held for a supervisor to establish its identity. An open return for the same unit or a conflicting identity needs investigation, not another approximate reference.
Establish checked permission
The supervisor selects the Return in Oversight. If model information is missing, use Record checked source model identity with evidence for the verified values. That action fills unknown information; it does not overwrite known values casually.
Use Record permission decision for permission to dismantle and permission to reuse recovered parts. Supply the actual ownership and permission evidence reference and a clear reason. Possession alone is insufficient. Recovery permission and reuse permission can differ, so do not tick both merely because the return was accepted.
Confirm readiness for recovery
If a controlled category affects the approved routing rules, the supervisor records the supported category and reason. The original receipt note remains in history. Check the approved recovery template matches the established model and revision before starting recovery.
Continue with Recover components. If permission later changes, inspect affected component release and reservations again.
Worked handover: permission, checks, release and fit
This illustrative case uses the product's CX200 practice method to explain the handover. It reports no real dismantling, electrical test, certification or installation. In actual work the organisation must supply an appropriate approved method, permissions and observed evidence. The following input values describe the case, not advice that a component is safe for use.
Sam Ashworth has Operator authority and current control of the receiving station at Brighouse works. He records physical receipt of UNIT-4096, serial CX-004096, on visit RET-1073 at receiving location IN-01. Suppose verified source evidence establishes model CX200 revision B and the return category customer_return. Priya Shah, acting as Supervisor with recent verification, records checked source identity where missing and separate evidence permitting dismantling and reuse. She does not infer either permission from receipt.
Assume Sarah Hughes has prepared the complete CX200 power-module checks as Author and James Whitaker, an independent Reviewer, has approved it. The practice method is HPE-PM-TEST-01 revision 3, with POWER for part PM-200 revision B and COVER for CV-200 revision A. Its condition check requires a pass for No damage to the casing or connectors and its Bench output reading is decimal volts at two places, from 23.50 to 24.50 inclusive, valid for 72 hours. This method is an illustration retained in the product, not an engineering approval of a real family.
Using the matching approved method, Sam starts recovery, records the actual POWER component as PM-0496, with verified identity and condition grade A, and records the actual COVER finding. Assume the source customer and route also match the approved policy. Priya separately records the checked source-unit disposition needed to close recovery. For PM-0496, suppose the observed condition passes and the actual output observation is 24.10 V, with all required evidence recorded. Sam submits those complete checks. They pass these numerical limits, but they do not release the component.
James also holds Supervisor authority. He supplied none of the relevant intake, permission, recovery, identity or assessment facts. With recent verification he checks the current complete evidence and independently releases PM-0496 under the matching approved reuse rules. The policy in this case permits PM-200 revision B for customer STANDARD and use customer_build. Any unresolved hold, permission failure, expired check or mismatched route still prevents eligibility.
Priya prepares destination BUILD-5836, slot POWER, for the exact part and revision, with checked permission to use recovered material and its reference. Because she created the requirement, James independently approves it as Supervisor. Sam can then reserve the eligible component, start the exact installation and confirm only what was physically fitted. Each step rechecks current eligibility. He hands over the source return, component, approved requirement and recorded operation outcome, rather than a verbal assurance that testing passed.
A reading of 24.60 V would fail the stated method; it must not be rounded into range or released by this path. Permission to dismantle without permission to reuse would also block the intended release. If the installation answer is unconfirmed, retain the original request and check its recorded outcome before creating further work. Follow Reserve and install and Station problems for the exact controls and holds.
