6)  View All Costumes marked as Checked In when they are still Checked Out.
 
Sometimes the Current Location can be updated incorrectly (especially if you are checking in a lot of costumes very, very quickly with the barcode scanner.  It doesn't happen often but if it does this is a quick way to fix it.)

2)  The Item is 'checked in'.
3)  The Rental Fee (on the Costume listing) is updated to the Fitting Fee
4)  A note is added to say that some items were returned.
5)  The Total Rental Fees is adjusted to reflect just the items checked out (not returned).  The Fitting Fee is added in the "Fitting Fees+Damage+Late Fees" section.  Note:  on this example there are Props checked out as well.  To see the Fees breakdown look at the Fee Details/Payment tab (below).
 
 
To see the Fitting Fees you can look at the top Fees summary or the tab for 'Fee Details / Payment'.
