Chapter 2. CHECK OUT AND CHECK IN
Item Checkin
When an item for which active reserves do not exist is checked in, the system compares the branch level Permanent and Current location of the item to the Home Location of the staff member performing the checkin operation.
- If the Permanent or Current location of the item and the Home Location of
the staff member performing the checkin do not match and the current status of
the item is not In Transit:
- The system applies a status of In Transit to the item.
- If your library has enabled automatic In Transit receipt printing, an In
Transit Receipt displays in an additional browser window, and a standard Print
dialog displays to facilitate printing of the In Transit Receipt for use when
shipping the item.
NOTE: Automatic In Transit receipt printing is configured through the Circulation Options function in the Circulation Administration module (see the Circulation Administration User Guide for more information).
- Print the receipt and forward the item to the library specified.
- If the Permanent or Current location of the item and the Home Location of
the staff member performing the checkin do not match, and the current status of
the item is In Transit:
- An advisory dialog displays the message “This item is in transit and does not belong to your library. Please send the item to the library specified on the in transit receipt that accompanied this item.”
- Click the OK button to close the advisory dialog, and forward the item to the library specified.
- If the Permanent or Current location of the item and the Home Location of
the staff member performing the checkin do match and the current status of the
item is In Transit:
- The system checks in the item and applies a status of Available to the item.
- The Item Checkin screen displays the message “In Transit Checkin Item.”
