Receive Transit Wizard

The Receive Transit wizard is used to take items in transit to your library out of transit. You can also perform this function using the Pending Transits wizard.

This wizard is available only if your library is part of a multilibrary system.

To receive an item from transit

In the In-transit Items group, click the Receive Transit wizard.

Do one of the following:

•

In the Item ID box, scan the item’s barcode.

•

Use the Item Search helper to search for the item. If a list displays, select the item you want, and then click Receive.

•

If the Current button is available, click the button to select the last item record that was displayed, modified, or added.

Click Receive Item to take the item out of transit.

The title, item ID, route/transit to, and transit reason information displays under List of Items Received. Click the glossary links to display more detailed information.

Repeat the previous steps until you have finished receiving items.

After you have finished receiving items in transit, select one of the following options:

•

Important Considerations When Using this Wizard

•

If the Display Instructions wizard property is selected, the Items Received dialog box displays with title and routing information. Click OK to close the dialog box.

•

If an item from a floating collection was put in transit to your library to satisfy a hold, and the hold was removed while the item was still in transit, you will be directed to shelve it in your library unless it is needed at another library for a hold, booking, or reserve. The item’s owning library changes to the receiving library. For more information on floating collections, go to FAQs: Handling Floating Collections.

You can receive circulation set items by clicking the Receive Set tab and typing or scanning the set ID. This tab will display all received circulation set items.
