Introduction

Once a Contract’s rental period has ended, and rented Products have been delivered or picked up from the Customer’s work site, it is time to perform a Return. Performing a Return on a Product tells the system that the Product has been returned into inventory, and causes an Invoice for the rental to be generated.

There are 2 different types of Return:

Rental Return: The ‘standard’ Return type, Rental Returns are initiated from the Rental Returns page in Texada Web.
In-Yard Return: In-Yard Returns are initiated in Texada Mobile, and are used when a rented Product is returned directly to the yard as opposed to the counter. Once they have been initiated in Texada Mobile, In-Yard Returns are processed from the In-Yard Returns page in Texada Web.

The primary difference between Rental Returns and In-Yard Returns is in how they are initiated: Rental Returns are initiated in Texada Web, while In-Yard Returns are initiated in Texada Mobile. Once they have been initiated, both types of Return are completed in Texada Web.

The following article will describe the process of completing both types of Return in Texada Web.
