# Calibration shipment: sending inspection equipment in one batch

Torque wrenches, measuring devices and other inspection equipment usually go to a calibration service in one batch. The **calibration shipment** compiles them, prints the delivery note, blocks them for loans and records result and certificate for all of them at once when they come back.

### Compiling a shipment

1. *Inspections → Calibration shipment → Compile shipment* (anyone allowed to record inspections).
2. Choose the **calibration service** from your suppliers or enter it freely, plus **Expected back** and a note (e.g. order number, collection date).
3. The list shows the **inspection equipment due** – *Show all tools requiring inspection* adds the others. Tick and *Compile shipment*.

Tools on loan are marked: take them back first, then ship them. On the shipment page you can add more tools by number or scan.

### Shipping

*Print delivery note* – with inventory and serial number, last inspection and signature fields – and enclose it. *Shipped* sets all tools to **Under inspection**; they cannot be borrowed until they return. If the calibration service is set up under *Suppliers* with an email address, *Email the calibration service* opens your email program with the list of devices.

### Recording the return

1. Enter the **inspection date (for all)**.
2. Choose the **result** for each tool (*All: passed* sets all at once) – leave tools that are still at the calibration service empty.
3. Leave **Next inspection** empty and Tulz uses the tool's inspection interval; costs per tool if you like.
4. **Upload certificates in one go**: if the inventory or serial number is in the file name (e.g. "WZ-0042_calibration.pdf"), Tulz assigns each file automatically.
5. *Record return*.

Passed tools are available again immediately, failed ones are set to **Defective**. Every inspection appears as usual in the tool's inspection log. If tools are still on their way, the shipment stays open and is completed later.

*Delete* resets tools that have not been booked back yet to their previous status; recorded inspections remain.
