As Operator, record individual tool handovers at the actual station. Sign in as yourself and choose the correct station before recording custody changes. A borrower badge is a contact lookup, not a sign-in.
Check before handing over
In Issue and return station, use Find & issue. Scan or choose the actual asset and borrower, then choose the approved task or provide the declared task facts offered by the policy. Check the permitted-use and due-back details.
Choose Check this handover and read the answer. Eligibility requires the correct confirmed crib custody, good condition, active borrower, approved task and capabilities, no holds and current required qualification covering the use interval.
Only after the checks permit issue should you confirm the actual physical handover and choose Record the handover. Scanning a tool or preparing a preview does not issue it.
Return the physical tool
Use the return action for the exact current loan. Record its observed condition, actual destination and who returned it or the available return context. A due or damaged tool must still receive a truthful authorised return.
A normal return goes to the approved review position. The Supervisor reviews it, then the actual restow is recorded. Use a direct return to crib only when the active policy and current checks explicitly permit it.
Stop at uncertainty
If the answer is lost, do not repeat the physical handover. Use the existing command's reconciliation. For a hold, missing loan or unexpected tool, keep it controlled and ask the Supervisor. Read issue a tool, returns and restow and station problems.
