Front Counter > Edit Existing > select the Order > Detail Lines tab > right click on the item that is coming back in > click Exchange

1) Verify the Exchange Date 
2) Verify the Exchange Time
3) If you want the item being sent out to use the same rates as the original item, click 'Use Original Rates'.
