Transferring Checked Out Assets

The Transfer Checkout function allows you to transfer physical possession of a checked out item from one person to another.  Transferring a checked out asset prevents you from having to check the asset back in, then check it out again to another person.  If the asset won't be returning to your company's possession before going to another customer or employee, use this function to transfer it.

 

Keep in mind that you can set the check out length to only consider weekdays and the due date to only fall on a weekday on the Options screen.
 

1.From the Main screen, click Asset Management > Transfer Check Out.  The Transfer Check Out screen appears.

 

TransferCheckOutAssetForm

 

This screen is similar to the Check Out screen.
 

2.The Transfer Check-Out function offers two modes of Asset selection - Filter and Custom Filter:

 

Filter is the default selection mode, allowing you to select the Assets you want to Check-Out by specifying any combination of values for the four filter criteria: Asset Tag, Description, Location, and Category.  

 

Note: Pinning is available on this screen. Pinning allows you to "lock" the information entered into a field.  This is convenient if, for example, you are entering multiple new assets for a particular site and location.  You can enter the site and location once, then pin them.  The fields will retain the information you entered through each new entry until you unpin them.  In the example screen shown below, values are entered in the Site, Location and Department Code fields.  These three fields were Pinned by clicking on their PushPin-Off pushpins, causing them to look like PushPin-On this.  Click the PushPin-On pushpin again to unlock the field for entry of a different value.

 

Custom Filter may be selected instead of Filter.  This makes use of the Simple Find or Advanced Find forms to select the Assets you want to Check-Out.
 

3.After applying your choice of filter criteria, you can manually limit the list of Assets further still by using CTRL and the left mouse button, clicking to highlight only those Assets in the Assets available to check-out list that should be Checked-Out, then click the > button to move them to the Assets ready to transfer check-out list.  All the listed Assets can be shifted to the Assets ready to transfer check-out list via the >> button.

 

The Select All button can be used to highlight all the records found by your choice of filter criteria. De-Select All can be used to clear any selections previously made.  

The Detail button will open the Edit Asset screen for a highlighted record, to view or modify the Asset record prior to doing the Check-Out.  If more than one record is selected, the Detail button will be disabled.

 

When you are satisfied with the Assets accumulated in the Assets pending check-out list, you can optionally apply Notes to the transaction, then specify either a Customer No. or an Employee No. and a Due Date (and time).  

 

When the Print Receipt - Copies box has a value greater than zero, one or more Check-Out receipts will be printed for this transaction.
 

4.When the required fields have been satisfied, the Transfer Check-Out button will be enabled.  Click this button to post the transaction or click the Close button to exit without transferring the asset.
