Custody Exceptions
The reconciliation queue for loaner and tire custody — every inconsistency stays visible until someone resolves it or overrides it with a reason.
Loaners and stored tires are customer property in your custody, and the worst custody problems are the quiet ones: a loaner marked "checked out" that no agreement explains, two storage records that look like one physical set of tires, a paid loaner charge that never reached an invoice. Custody Exceptions is where those inconsistencies surface — automatically — and stay until a person deals with them.
What lands here
ShopCommander opens an exception whenever custody records stop reconciling:
- Orphan checkout — a loaner shows "checked out" but no open agreement exists.
- Damage hold — a loaner came back with reported damage. It stays out of the fleet until the damage is resolved here (or on the fleet card) with a recorded reason.
- Cleaning — a routine return awaiting cleaning; marking the vehicle ready resolves it automatically.
- Unbilled paid loaner — a paid agreement whose charge has no repair-order line item, so the books can't see it.
- Duplicate active set / bin collision — two active tire records that look like one physical set, or two sets claiming the same explicit bin.
- Stale scheduled swap — a set still marked "scheduled" after its appointment was cancelled.
- Over capacity — a configured storage location holding more sets than it's set up for.
A nightly reconciliation sweep re-checks the whole shop, so anything that drifts reappears here on its own.
Resolving vs overriding
Every exception offers two exits, and they mean different things:
- Resolve — the underlying problem was actually fixed (the damage was repaired, the duplicate was merged, the charge was billed). Add a short note about what you did.
- Override — you're accepting the state as-is. A reason is required, and it's recorded with your name and the time. Overrides are for judgment calls — "customer genuinely has two identical sets" — not for making the list shorter.
