Daily client gear was checked out for a CIS or trip and has physically returned without a discrepancy. The guide submits the return, then Inventory reconciles every custody unit as returned usable before availability is restored and the trip's gear blocker can clear.
The guide starts the CIS gear return or operations receives the physical gear.
The request begins from the same trip context that holds the checkout and custody record.
Submitting the return changes custody to pending review; it does not restore stock by itself.
This is the key moment: the reviewed quantities must equal the issued quantities, and Inventory confirms every unit is physically back and usable.
The custody units close as returned to inventory and retries cannot restore the same unit twice.
Operations can see that daily gear no longer prevents this CIS or trip from closing cleanly.
Starts the return from the CIS and confirms which checked-out items came back.
Receives or reviews the return and sees whether trip closure still has a gear blocker.
Restores availability only after the physical items are known to be back.
The items and quantities expected back for the selected CIS.
Why: Complete the trip's gear task against a clear physical checklist.
A completed return and no remaining daily gear blocker for the trip.
Why: Know the trip can close without unresolved gear work.
Returned-usable stock available again to the company-wide inventory.
Why: Offer the gear to another trip only after it is physically back.
Inventory availability changes when the physical gear is known to be back, not merely because the trip ended.
