Handy Equipment/Tool Management system creates automatically check out receipts. The default checkout receipt includes: header, borrower name, item name, item barcode number, loan date, due date.



checkout form, sign out equipment form, release form

You can easily customize check-out receipt and create documents like: employee equipment sign out form, employee equipment checkout form, equipment checkout agreement, equipment release form.

Custom receipt or form is defined in the prt_receipt.txt file.

Handy Equipment Manager checks if there is a receipt file (prt_receipt.txt) in the data folder (C:\handy_et\data\db\), if yes then custom receipt is created, if the file is not present the regular receipt is created.

Note: custom receipt/form allows to print only one checked out item.

Download the prt_receipt.txt file, modify it, and save it in the data folder (C:\handy_lib\data\db\).

Use keywords:
FIELD<INVENTORY:ITEM_NAME> item name
FIELD<INVENTORY:MODEL> model name
FIELD<ITEMS:SERIAL> serial number
FIELD<BORROWERS:NAME> borrower name
FIELD<LOAN:LOANDATE> check out transaction date


Keywords in the form are replaced with data from the check out transaction.
