particular Item.
Example Situation - You find one of
your Snowboards in a rack outside your Ski Hire at the end of the day

|
The Returns Screen
The purpose of the Returns Screen is to allow the fast returns of
Items hired by customers.
We can safely assume that customers will lose or forget any paperwork you ask
them to bring back in order to identify them. Therefore the Ski Hire Manager
does not rely on paperwork from the customer. All a staff member needs to do in
order to display a customer (and their equipment) is to scan the barcode on an
Item that the customer is returning.
As each Item is returned it will be colored green.
Outstanding items are colored dark blue, overdue items are colored red.
Once items are returned the staff member will be reminded to inspect the
condition of the equipment and refund any deposits if
necessary.
