After releasing the Work Task, it is possible to execute "Return Parts to Inventory" command on the return line which opens Return to Inventory assistant. After giving an inventory location in Planned Returns section and proceeding, the part serial is returned to the inventory.

When the relevant return line for the serial is selected, its existing test points/parameters are shown. Then the current measurement of the parameters can be entered. Additionally, it is possible to modify or remove the Update from Object of the parameters if those are no longer applicable after the serial object is moved to the inventory. Selecting the relevant parameter lines and selecting Apply registers the measurements entered for the selected parameters and modifies the Update from Object field of each parameter if any change was done.
