A tool can be physically present yet unsuitable for issue. Read custody, condition, holds, incidents and qualification together. Do not clear a warning solely because the tool has been found.
Establish the discrepancy
The Operator should identify the tool, recorded loan or position and actual observed situation, then keep the tool controlled and notify the Supervisor. An unknown scan clears the previous target; inspect the current selection before taking any action.
The Supervisor opens Loans, holds and review, selects the exact asset and reviews its current holds, incidents and events. Choose the action matching the facts, such as returned-condition review, missing or lost asset, disputed custody or reconciliation of a physically found asset. Give a useful reason and confirm the actual physical observation when required.
A new unexpected observation appends facts and can place a hold without overwriting custody. This preserves the difference between seeing a tool and proving which earlier loan ended.
Clear only the reviewed barrier
Condition and inspection holds require their supported review and good condition before clearance. Other incident types have their own controls. Select the exact holds and incidents you have resolved. A service acceptance or reference release is not a substitute for physical condition review.
A found asset can return to review and require further inspection. It is not automatically ready in the crib. Follow returns and restow before expecting another issue.
If the current revision changed while reviewing, refresh and inspect the new state. A refusal must not leave a partly assumed clearance in your physical handover. Read the saved result before telling an Operator that use is permitted.
Manage ongoing obligations
Inspect local review tasks for overdue use, due-back or service-related concerns. Record the reviewed task outcome with the required basis. Resolving a task records the review; it does not invent a physical return or automatically grant a new use interval.
Retain the exact loan, relevant dates, borrower context and physical disposition for the next shift. Use History to explain the sequence. If an action is uncertain, reconcile it with its original identity before repeating.
For an unresolved security or recovery barrier, stop normal work and involve the Owner and responsible reviewers. Do not use another asset code or a new contact to hide the disputed record.
Hand a tool to an external service provider
A service-review Supervisor with the required station authority can choose Record an external service handover in Review action. Select the physically confirmed source position and active service-provider contact, enter Return within, in whole minutes and the reason, then confirm the physical handover.
This path requires a tool recorded in the crib or return-review area, without an unresolved loan. Condition or inspection holds can accompany it, but other custody barriers or unresolved identity incidents need resolution first. The accepted action records a service loan and changes custody to on loan. It does not approve the tool for production use or remove its holds. Use the ordinary truthful return and review path when it comes back.
Read an original oversight decision
Use a task's Read original decision link and inspect Original oversight decision, Recorded facts and Original oversight conditions. These are the task's retained facts and release, including the selected priority and original rule precedence.
Under Explain this selected record, Question and Read original evidence read that same saved decision. They do not evaluate a new policy or change its priority. Keep the task identity and original release with any review handover; use the operational review controls for the actual outcome.
