Returning Tools To The Warehouse

Remember, you are only returning a tool that has a valid tool number on it… T-0000-LETTER OF THE ALPHABET, tools without this are to be returned as MATERIAL in JC Material Use.

Before physically returning the tool to it's respective warehouse, please inspect the tool and run it if it's possible to determine if it is broken or can be returned as normal. Make sure any parts that come with the tool are all accounted for as well, otherwise it would be “broken” while waiting for parts to be ordered for it. If we happen to have parts to make the complete tool, please take out of inventory in an adjustment and add to the tool to make complete.

Example: Pipe cutter T-0101: consists of pipe cutter, 2-roller stands, hydraulic pump, extra blade for cutter, etc.
