TRAX MANUALS > Inventory > Inventory Module > Inventory, Update Menu > Inventory Transaction > Inventory Transaction Buttons > Return To Stock Button, via Inventory Transaction

The Return to Stock button is used to place parts back into inventory. Parts that meet these conditions may need to be returned to stock using the RTS transaction:

• Parts that were issued to a Work Order but not used,
• Parts which were removed from the aircraft, and
• Parts which may have been missed during the data migration process.

Note: This functionality is only for internal purposes. If parts are received on an order they cannot be put into stock using this functionality, instead they have to go through a Receiving Process.

If the part is serialized, when the serial number is entered, the system can determine if the part was installed on an aircraft.

If the part is non-serialized, the S/N field will disappear and the W/O field will appear. If a Work Order is entered, the system will Credit Work Order. If no Work Order is entered, the system will return the item as Unknown Inventory.

From Inventory Transaction, select the RTN Stock button. TRAX displays the Return To Stock window:

The following information/options are available in this window:

System Notification - Advanced Exchange Order RTS:

If a user attempts to RTS transaction for a P/N that currently exists on an open Exchange Order, the user will receive the following 'P/N Exists For Exchange' prompt informing the user that the P/N they are attempting to RTS exists on an open Exchange Order. If the user selects 'No', they will receive a system notification called 'RETURN FOR OPEN EX'. The notification informs the configured user(s) that a 'Potential core part for an E/X has been returned to stock. For preventing any kind of latency, please perform necessary action.' For information on how to set up this system notification, refer to System Notification via the Settings Training Manual.

After the system notification has been received, the user can return to the pop up message and select 'Yes' to proceed with the RTS transaction for the Exchange Order.

Additional information can be included through the Notes button.
