Check-in: Streamlined Check-in at wrong location

Set this option to "YES" to streamline the process of:

• placing an item in transit at a non-owning ("wrong") location
• checking in an in-transit item at its owning location

At the Non-owning/"Wrong" Location

If you set this option to "YES" and place an item in transit to its owning location or to a pickup location in order to satisfy an item-level hold, the system does not prompt you to set the item in transit. Instead, the system automatically:

• Sets the item in transit:

  • changes the item status to 't' (IN TRANSIT)
  • adds a "transit" message to the item record

• Performs checkin as follows:

  • If the Check-in: Check-in at wrong location circulation option is set to "ALLOWED", the system checks the item in.
  • If the Check-in: Check-in at wrong location circulation option is set to "NOT ALLOWED", the system leaves the item checked out.

• Prints a transit slip as follows:

  • If your library has streamlined transit slip printing, the system automatically prints a transit slip.
  • If your library has not streamlined transit slip printing, the system prompts you to print a transit slip.

At the Owning Location

If you set this option to "YES" and check in an item belonging to your library that was set in transit to its owning location (i.e., to your library), the system suppresses the confirmation message.
