ACQUISITIONS
Chapter 7. CLAIMING
Reviewing Claims
The Review Claims function lets you review eligible claims prior to their approval and the generation of claiming letters. You may also choose to delete claims from the extracted claims list so that claim notices are not generated for the associated items.
The Review Claims screen displays immediately following the extraction process (see Extracting Claims for details). Previously extracted claims can also be viewed using the Review Claims function.
To review claims:
-
From the Acquisitions menu, select Claiming - Review Claims.
- The Review Claims screen displays.
- The screen shows a listing of all extracted claims. Each line in the list shows the Vendor from whom the items were ordered, the Title of the items, the Order No., the number of items to be claimed (Qty to Claim), a Description of the justification for claiming the items, the Order Date, and the library Destination (location and branch) for the items to be claimed.
- By default, the system inserts a Description of “Not all copies received.”
If desired, you can edit the claim to change the description:
- Click the Edit link for the claim for which you wish to change the
Description.
- The Edit Claimed Reason screen displays in an additional browser window.
- Click the Edit link for the claim for which you wish to change the
Description.
- Select the desired reason for the claim from the Claim Reason menu, then click the Submit button to save your changes.
- The Edit Claim Reason screen closes automatically, and the Review Claims screen refreshes to display your changes.
- If desired, you can Delete (remove) items from the claims extract so that
claim letters for the items are not printed when the Print Claim Letters option
is selected:
- Use the Delete checkboxes to select the items you wish removed from the
claims extract.
- A checkmark indicates the associated item will be removed from the claims extract.
- An empty checkbox indicates the associated item will not be removed from the claims extract.
- Clicking a checkbox will toggle it on and off.
- When all desired items have been selected for removal, click the Submit
button.
- The Review Claims screen refreshes with the selected items removed from the list.
- Use the Delete checkboxes to select the items you wish removed from the
claims extract.
- Once extracted claims have been edited or deleted, you can print claim letters for the remaining items in the extract (see Printing Claim Letters for details).
