Booking Slips

To print booking slips, you must be assigned the following permissions, depending on the method you are using to print slips:

Printing Method	Required Permission
Print Slip button in Bookings tab	130 (Materials Booking)
Bookings Maintenance function	392 (Bookings Maintenance)
Bookings Event Maintenance function	393 (Events Maintenance)

See Permissions Used by Sierra for more information.

If your library has acquired Materials Booking, you can print booking slips to verify that items have been booked for patrons and to ensure that those items are delivered and picked up correctly. You can print booking slips for:

A single patron's bookings. For more information, see Printing Booking Slips from the Patron Record.
A single item. For more information, see Printing Booking Slips from the Bookings Tab.
All bookings happening at a particular location or within a given timeframe. For more information, see Bookings Maintenance or Bookings Event Maintenance.

The following are described below:

Types of Booking Slips

There are three types of booking slips:

Delivery slips: Library staff will deliver the item to a specified location.
Patron pickup slips: The patron for whom the booking was placed will pick up the item.
Pickup slips: Library staff will pick up the item after the booking ends.

The type of slip that prints depends on the delivery option specified when placing the booking. When the library is responsible for picking up and delivering an item, Sierra prints two slips, one for delivery and one for pickup.

Booking Slip Format

All booking slips include a header that contains the following information:

Slip Type: Indicates whether the slip is a delivery slip, patron pickup slip, or pickup slip.
Delivery Location (delivery slips and pickup slips only): The delivery location specified when placing the booking.
Event: Name of the event with which the booking is associated, if any.

In addition, booking slips contain the following fields:

Title: A TITLE variable-length field from the bibliographic record to which the booked item is attached. If the bibliographic record contains a 245 field, the system uses the 245 field to generate the title on booking slips. If there is no 245 field, the system uses the 240 field to generate the title. If there is neither a 245 nor a 240 field, the system uses the first TITLE field in the bibliographic record.
Call Number: The CALL # variable-length field from the booked item's record, or if absent, from the bibliographic record.
Barcode: The BARCODE variable-length field from the booked item's record.
Note: The booking note entered when placing the booking.
Patron: The PATRN NAME variable-length field in the patron record.
Pickup at (patron pickup slips only): The booking's pickup location. Displays only if the Transit Time for Booked Items feature is enabled.
Prep time/Avail (patron pickup slips only): The date and time at which booking preparation must begin, and the date and time the item will next be available. Displays only if the Transit Time for Booked Items feature is enabled.
From/To: The booking's wanted from and wanted to dates.
