Return keys: This parameter allows us to check the vehicle out of Workshop loading, when set to Manual the user is responsible for checking the vehicle out and when set to Automatic the vehicle is checked out automatically when the WIP has been fully invoiced at the end of the day.
Note: When the parameter is set to Automatic it will set the WIP date to the date it was invoiced, the mileage will be set to the mileage recorded when checked in.
The Gate pass development can run in two ways, depending on the Return keys parameter.
If the Return keys parameter in the workshop loading system parameters is set to Automatic, the Gate pass will be printed when invoicing the WIP.
If the Return keys is set to Manual, the Gate pass document is printed when the Vehicle is returned to the customer, using the Return vehicle to customer option of Workshop loading.
