If you cannot add a tool to a return shipment in the Return & Renewal flow, follow these steps:

  • Check Tool Eligibility

    • Only tools marked as return-relevant (Active (up for Exchange), To Be Returned, To Be Returned (FM Extension), In Special Extension, Awaiting new product) can be added.
    • Ensure the tool appears in the Fleet Asset List or the returnable fleet assets list in ON!Track (web or mobile).
    • If the tool is not in that list, it may not be part of the current return period.
       
  • Use Search and Filters

    • Search by tool name, serial number, or scancode.
    • Apply filters for organizational reference, cost center or fleet inventory number.
       
  • Make sure you are in an open shipment

  • You can only add tools to shipments that are still open.

    • Go to the Return Shipments section (web) or the Shipments tab (mobile).

    • Check the shipment status:

      • You can only add tools to shipments with status “Open”.

      • If the shipment is Processing, Submitted, you cannot add more tools to it.

  • If needed, create a new return shipment:

    • Click “Add return shipment” on web or mobile.

    • Then try to add the tool again.
       

  • Manual Entry (Mobile)

    • Sometimes the problem is how the tool is identified, not the tool itself.

      • On mobile:

        • Use camera scan or NFC scan via “Identify Asset”.

        • If you get a red indicator screen, the tool is not valid for the current shipment. Do not pack it in this shipment.

        • If scanning does not work, try:

          • Typing the serial number or scan code in the search bar.

          • Using filters to find the tool, then manually set it to Packed.

      • On web:

        • Find the tool in the Fleet Asset List using the search bar or filters.

        • Use the Packed radio button to mark it as packed.

    • If you still cannot find the tool, it is most likely not eligible for return in this flow.
       

  • Check Shipment Limits

    • Each shipment can contain a maximum of 50 tools.

      • Open the shipment and count how many tools are already packed.

      • If the shipment already contains 50 tools, you will not be able to add another tool.

    • In this case:

      • Create a new shipment and add the remaining tools there.
         

  • Multiple Users

    • Multiple users can work on the same return order at the same time.

      • If a colleague has already added or packed the tool in another open shipment, you might not be able to add it again.

      • Check the asset list in the return flow on Web to see whether the asset is already assigned as packed to another shipment.
         

  • Technical Issues or Missing Tool

    • If the tool is eligible but still cannot be added, there may be a technical or data sync issue.
    • Use the Help section in the app to access Zendesk articles or contact Hilti support.
       
  • Contact Support

    • Contact Hilti support or customer service if:

      • The tool should be returnable (according to your contract), but you cannot see it in the returnable asset list.

      • You have more than 50 tools to return and are not sure how to split them into shipments.

      • The system shows an error message every time you try to add a valid tool.
