While not common, at times it is necessary to take a partial loan return. This happens more often with exhibit loans, but it can happen with any type of loan. When partial loans need to be processing, you have to edit the loan preps individually.
- First, be SURE to have the loan record in Edit mode. Access the Return loan sub-form via the button on the bottom left of the screen.
- In the pop-up window, select ONLY the specimens that are being returned. Select the (Returned) box to fill in with quantity returned. This will automatically update the 'Resolved' box.
- In the remarks field, make a note of the partial return. It's a good idea to make a statement in the main loan remarks field, also.
Hit save and this window will close. Remember to save your changes from the main form, also!
When the rest of the specimens come back, repeat these steps until all are returned and you can close out the loan.
