<p>You can check in items by various methods, depending on the situation.

<h1><a name="kanchor4557"></a>Check In Items With Missing Parts</h1>
<p>You can use the Special Item Check-In dialog box to check in multi-part items, such as DVD or CD sets, that are returned with missing parts, whether the missing parts are discovered before or after the item is checked in. A staff member checking in multi-part items is likely to discover the missing parts while the item still has a status of Out. But, if the library uses automated materials handling (AMH) units, a staff member may discover that parts are missing after the item has been checked in by the AMH and has a status of In.</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:</b>
<br />The following permissions are necessary to check in items with missing parts:<br />Special item check-in:Access<br />Special item check-in:Select missing<br />Special item check-in:Select unavailable<br /></p>
<p>To check in multi-part items that are returned to the library with a part or parts missing:</p>
<ol>
<li value="1">Open the Check In workform, and select <span class="Input">Tools &gt; Special Item Check-in</span>. The Special Item Check-in dialog box opens.</li>
<li value="2">Scan the items barcode or search for the item with the missing part.</li>
<li value="3">Select one of the following options:</li>
</ol>
<ul>
<li><b>Missing part: block &amp; notify</b> - Enter a note regarding the missing part in the <b>Special item check-in note</b> box. This note will appear on the notice sent to the patron and on the item record. The note is optional, but if it is left blank, the notice does not specify exactly what part is missing. When you select this option and click <b>OK</b>, the following occurs:</li>
</ul>
<blockquote>
<p class="Bullet">The item's status is updated to <i>Claim Missing Parts</i> and it appears on the Claims view of the Patron Status workform. From this view, you can charge the patron for the missing part if the item is salvageable, or declare the item lost if it is not salvageable. See also: <a href="../PPclaims/Manage items with missing parts.htm" class="MCXref xref" xrefformat="{color blue}{paratext}{/color}"><span style="color: Blue;" class="mcFormatColor">Manage Items with a Claim Missing Parts Status</span></a>.</p>
<p class="Bullet">The item is blocked from being circulated.</p>
<p class="Bullet">A notice is generated. If the item's status is still Out, the notice is sent to the current borrower. If the item's status is In, the notice is sent to the last borrower. (If the last borrower is not available for an In item, a message appears and the item is not added to the dialog box).</p>
</blockquote>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:<br /></b>Items with system blocks for missing parts can be checked in at any branch, and the block will be removed even if the item goes In-transit, Held, or Transferred before it is updated to an In status. </p>
<ul>
<li><b>Mark item Unavailable</b> - When you select this option and click <b>OK</b>, the item is updated to a status of Unavailable, which prevents it from being circulated.</li>

<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:<br /></b>To do this procedure, you need the Acquisitions permissions <b>Access Acquisitions: Allow</b>&#160;and <b>Receive Shipment: Allow.</b></p>
<ol>
<li value="1">Select <b>Acquisitions, EDI Services, Check In Shelf-Ready Materials</b>&#160;or click <img alt="receiveshipicon.gif" style="width: 32;height: 18;" src="receiveshipicon_32x18.gif" class="imginline" /> on the Polaris Shortcut Bar to display the Check-In Shelf-Ready Materials workform.</li>
</ol>
<ol data-mc-continue="true">
<li value="2">If you will print hold or in-transit slips from this workform, select <b>Tools, Options</b>&#160;and set up receipt printing. See<MadCap:conditionalText data-mc-conditions="Primary.Online,Primary.Hidden"> <a href="../PPworkstn/Setting_Up_Receipt_Printing_from_Workforms.htm">Setting Up Receipt Printing from Workforms</a></MadCap:conditionalText>.</li>
</ol>
<p class="indent2">You need to do this step only once for this workform. If receipt printing has already been set up, skip this step.</p>
<ol data-mc-continue="true">
<li value="3">Scan or type the barcode of the first item in the <b>Item barcode</b>&#160;box and press <b>ENTER</b>.</li>
</ol>
<p class="indent2">The system automatically finds the barcode of the matching on-order item record, and the item is listed in the top section of the workform. </p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:<br /></b>If the items barcode label is damaged, you can also click <b>Find </b>to search for the on-order item record, but the record must have a barcode to be checked in on this workform.</p>
<ol data-mc-continue="true">
<li value="4">Continue to scan items in the shipment.</li>
</ol>
<p class="indent2">As the items are scanned and checked in, they are listed in the top section of the workform.</p>
<p class="indent2">As the items are checked in, each items circulation status is updated appropriately (for example, to In, In Transit, or Held). If you have the appropriate permissions, you can change item information (collection, shelf location, material type, blocks, or non-public note) while it is displayed in the top part of the workform. See<MadCap:conditionalText data-mc-conditions="Primary.Online,Primary.Hidden"> <a href="Change_item_information_at_Shelf-Ready_Materials_check-in.htm">Change item information at Shelf-Ready Materials check-in</a></MadCap:conditionalText>.</p>
<p class="indent2">If items that fill hold requests or items that belong at another branch are checked in, and you have set receipt printing (see step 2), the appropriate holds slips or in-transit slips are printed. Depending on your librarys settings in Polaris Administration, you may also see messages alerting you that an item has holds, or that it should go to another branch. Click <b>OK</b>&#160;to acknowledge the message and continue scanning items.</p>
<p class="indent2">If you receive error messages for no matching item records or other conditions, set the problem items aside and alert the technical services staff.</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:</b>
<br />If you have entered barcodes in error, you can select the item or items in the list and click <b>Remove Selected Items</b>. The items are removed from the list. At this point the items have been checked in but not received. Technical Services staff can run the Acquisitions report Shelf Ready Items Not Received in Acquisitions to identify these items and resolve their status.<br />If you have scanned the same item twice, you can ignore the error. The item is checked in only once.<br /></p>
<ol data-mc-continue="true">
<li value="5">After the barcodes for all the items in the shipment have been scanned or entered, click the <b>Accept Shipment</b>&#160;button. </li>
</ol>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Important:<br /></b>Try to scan all the barcodes for all the items in a single shipment before clicking <b>Accept Shipment</b>. This reduces the number of purchase order line item segments that are split into two segments—one for the copies received and one for the copies still on-order—and therefore makes further processing easier.</p>
<p class="indent2">The scanned items appear in the bottom portion of the workform and the status of the linked purchase order line item segments is changed to Received. The <b>Note</b>&#160;column indicates how many copies were ordered and received.</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:<br /></b>You may notice that the ISBN/UPC number for an item differs in the top and bottom part of the workform. This is because the number in the top view comes from the linked bibliographic record, but the information in the bottom portion comes from the purchase order line item. The data in the purchase order line item reflects the material ordered from the vendor, so the ISBN or UPC number in this column should match what is on the physical item.</p>

<p class="indent2">A log report is saved in the database when the shipment is received. Your librarys technical services staff reviews the report for problems. </p>

Your library system may check in and receive new items by this method at a central location, or each branch may process its own new shelf-ready items.</p>
<p>To check in a shelf-ready item by this method, the matching on-order item record must have a barcode, and it must be linked to a purchase order line item segment. On-order items are created when the purchase order is released and are updated with embedded holdings data when full bibliographic records are imported using the Enriched EDI Orders import profile. </p>

See <a href="../PPworkstn/Setting_Up_Receipt_Printing_from_Workforms.htm#XREF_66208_Setting_Print">Setting Up Receipt Printing from Workforms</a>.</p>
<p>To check in items from the Check In workform - Normal view: </p>
<ol>
<li value="1">Select <b>Circulation, Check In</b>&#160;on the Polaris Shortcut Bar, click <img alt="CheckInBut.gif" style="width: 33;height: 18;" id="image0" src="CheckInBut_33x18.gif" class="imginline" />, or press <b>F2</b>.</li>

<li>Select <b>Tools, RFID Check In</b>&#160;(or press <b>F9), </b>and place up to 10 items on the antenna tray. This method sets the security bit for each item.</li>

<p class="NoteShade"><b>Tip:<br /></b>If your library has Polaris SimplyReports, you can use the following method to create the text file containing the barcodes:<br />1. Use the Find Tool to find the item records and apply the appropriate circulation status and branch limits.<br />2. Right-click on the search results and select Add to record set.<br />3. In Polaris SimplyReports, create an item list report with:<br />--- Barcodes selected as the single report output column<br />--- Text and Tab-delimited selected as the report output format<br />----The record set you created selected in the Item Record Set filter<br />4. Download the text file from SimplyReports.</p>
<p class="indent2">The item barcode, due date, status, and comments appear in the list of items checked in.

</ol>
<p class="indent2">If items are selected from multiple patrons, the items are grouped by patrons, and three blank lines are added at the end of each group. If auto-cut receipt printing is enabled, the receipt is cut at the end of each patrons group of items. (Items with no patron information, for example those that went from In to In at check in, are also grouped together and separated from patron items.) The information that appears on the receipt is set in Polaris Administration.</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:<br /></b>The requesting patrons name is not printed on the receipt when an item becomes held at check in.</p>

<p><a name="kanchor3851"></a><a name="IX_overview_29"></a><a name="kanchor3852"></a><a name="IX_bulk_mode_overview"></a>Use the bulk check-in process when you want to do a fast check-in of many items, such as those left in the book drop. Items are processed more quickly because most blocks and dialog boxes do not appear. For example, overdue fines are charged automatically to patron accounts. However, your library can set Polaris to generate alert messages for hold requests, held items, and ILL items during bulk check-in. You may also see an alert message if an item does not belong to your branch. </p>

<h1><a name="XREF_20651_Checking_Items_In"></a>Doing Normal Item Check-Ins</h1>
<p><a name="kanchor3229"></a><a name="IX_normal_mode_overview"></a>When a patron returns an item to the front desk, you typically <a href="Do_a_normal_check-in_from_the_Check_In_workform.htm">check in the item in normal mode</a>, using the Check In workform&#160;-&#160;Normal view. As you are checking in items, you can do the following if you have the required permissions:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="Resolve_a_fine_at_check-in.htm">Resolve a fine at check-in</a>
</li>
<li><a href="Change_item_information_or_barcode_at_check-in.htm">Change item information or barcode at check-in</a>

</li>
<li><a href="Check_in_a_held_item_with_changed_pickup_location.htm">Check in a held item with a changed pickup location
</a>
</li>
</ul>
<p> In certain situations, such as when an item does not have a barcode label, you do not have the item in front of you, or the item record was created with a status other than In, you can check it in from the Item Record workform. If you are working with a patron record, you can also check in an item from the Patron Status workform - Items Out view. Whether you check in an item in normal mode, from the item record, or from the Patron Status workform, alerts may appear during processing. For example, an item may have a block on it, or an item may be overdue. When alerts appear, you must decide how the item should be processed. </p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:<br /></b>If you want to do a quick check-in of many items, such as a load of materials from the book drop, do a bulk check-in. This process eliminates most alerts. See <a href="Doing_Bulk_Item_Check-Ins.htm#XREF_13278_Performing_Bulk">Doing Bulk Item Check-Ins</a>. If you are working with Polaris offline, you can <span class="FM_Emphasis">only</span> do a bulk check-in.</p>
<h2><a name="TOC_Shelving_Status"></a>Shelving Status</h2>
<p><a name="kanchor3230"></a><a name="IX_at_check_in"></a>If there are no special circumstances, the items circulation status changes immediately to In when you check it in, although it may not be returned to the shelf for several hours. This can be confusing for a patron who finds the item in PAC, notes that it is In, but cannot find it because it is still on the book truck. Your library can set a period during which the checked-in items In status is displayed as Shelving, or another description. For that period, the shelving status description is displayed for the item in the PAC, Find Tool search results, the PAC preview in the bibliographic record, and the list of linked items available from the bibliographic record or any linked item record. See <MadCap:conditionalText data-mc-conditions="Primary.Online,Primary.Hidden"><a href="../../Patron_Services_Admin/PDPitems/Setting_Shelving_Status.htm" class="MCXref xref"><span style="color: Blue;" class="mcFormatColor">Setting Shelving Status</span></a>.</MadCap:conditionalText> You can limit Find Tool item searches by shelving status.</p>

You can set special free days for normal and bulk check-in. For example, if the library was unexpectedly closed for a day due to a storm, you might permit one or two free days. The default values for normal and bulk free days are set in Polaris Administration. See <MadCap:conditionalText data-mc-conditions="Primary.Online,Primary.Hidden"><a href="../../Patron_Services_Admin/PDPfines/Calculating_Overdue_Fines.htm" class="MCXref xref"><span style="color: Blue;" class="mcFormatColor">Calculating Overdue Fines</span></a>.</MadCap:conditionalText> When you set a different number of free days for check-in, it applies <span class="FM_Emphasis">only</span>&#160;to your current check-in session. To set free days, you must have the Circulation permission <b>Modify free days: Allow</b>. </p>
<h2><a name="TOC_Floating_Collections_and"></a><a name="XREF_18220_Floating"></a>Floating Collections and Check-In</h2>
<p><a name="kanchor3233"></a><a name="IX_at_check_in_2"></a>Your library system or certain branches within the system may use floating collections, where certain items remain at the branch where they were last checked in. If an item is called to another branch, for example to fill a hold request, the item will stay at that branch when it is returned. The items move among branches as they are used, not according to a rotation schedule. See <MadCap:conditionalText data-mc-conditions="Primary.Online,Primary.Hidden"><a href="../../Patron_Services_Admin/PDPfloating/Setting_Up_Floating_Collections.htm" class="MCXref xref"><span style="color: Blue;" class="mcFormatColor">Setting Up Floating Collections</span></a>.</MadCap:conditionalText></p>
<p>Floating collection processing takes place at check-in. The process happens automatically; if the item is not over limits set in Polaris administration, no message is displayed to the staff member when the item floats to its new assigned branch, the check-in branch. The item takes on the circulation parameters of its new assigned branch and remains there until it is checked in at (“floats” to) another branch.</p>
<h2 style="mc-hyphenate: never;page-break-before: always;"><a name="TOC_Check_In_Messages_and"></a><a name="XREF_75949_Check_In_Messages"></a>Check-In Dialog Boxes, Messages, and Blocks</h2>
<p><a name="kanchor3234"></a><a name="IX_messages_and_dialog_boxes_1"></a>The following dialog boxes, messages, and blocks may appear during check-in.</p>
<h3 style="font-size: 12pt;">Fine dialog box</h3>
<p>The Fine dialog box may appear during check-in if there is a fine on the item. See <a href="Resolve_a_fine_at_check-in.htm#XREF_77492_Resolve_a_fine_at">Resolve a fine at check-in</a>.</p>
<p>In Polaris Administration, the Patron Services parameter <b>Check in: auto-charge fine from item work form and find tool context menu</b>&#160;controls whether overdue fines are automatically charged to the patron account when overdue items are checked in from the Item workform, the Find Tool context menu, or the Patron Status workform - Items Out view. If the parameter is set to <b>Yes</b>, the Fine dialog box does not appear. </p>
<h3 style="font-size: 12pt;">Item Blocks dialog box</h3>
<p>The Item Blocks dialog box appears during check-in if there are blocks on an item. See <a href="../PPblocks/Manage_item_blocks_at_circulation.htm#XREF_33474_Manage_item_blocks">Manage item blocks at circulation</a>.</p>
<h3 style="font-size: 12pt;">Holds Messages</h3>
<p><a name="kanchor3235"></a><a name="IX_messages"></a>The following messages related to holds may appear during check-in. See <a href="../PPholds/Working_with_Hold_Requests.htm" class="MCXref xref"><span style="color: Blue;" class="mcFormatColor">Working with Hold Requests</span></a>:</p>
<ul type="disc">

</ul>
<h3 style="font-size: 12pt;">Resolve Lost/Billed Item Dialog Box</h3>
<p>Your library may set this dialog box to appear when an item has been declared lost, but the item is found at circulation.

<h3 style="font-size: 12pt;">Circulation Messages</h3>
<p>You may see the following messages related to item circulation:</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li><span class="FM_BulletHead">Item does not belong to this branch</span>&#160;- Your library may set this message to appear when an item does not belong to your branch. If you choose to put the item in-transit to the items assigned branch, and you have set up printing for in-transit slips from this workform, the slip is automatically printed. See <a href="../PPworkstn/Setting_Up_Receipt_Printing_from_Workforms.htm#XREF_66208_Setting_Print">Setting Up Receipt Printing from Workforms</a>. If you choose to change the items status to In and keep the item at your branch, the items assigned branch does not change to your branch.</li>
<li><span class="FM_BulletHead">Item is over your suggested limit </span>- If your system uses floating collections with material type limits, this message may appear when you check in a floating item from another branch that exceeds your branchs limits for floating items of this material type associated with the same bibliographic record. You can continue to check in the item and override the limit, if that is your branchs policy. Alternatively, you choose to put the item in-transit to its home branch, or you can cancel the check-in.</li>
<li><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Collection floating limit reached</b> - If your system uses floating collections with load-balanced collection limits, this message may appear when you check in a floating item from another branch that exceeds your branchs limits for floating items based on load-balanced collections. You can select <b>Yes</b> to continue to check in the item and override the limit, if that is your branchs policy. Alternatively, you select <b>No</b> to put the item in-transit, or you can cancel the check-in. If you choose to put the item in-transit, it floats to the branch with lowest ratio of the number of items to collection limit.</li>
<li><span class="FM_BulletHead">Item was withdrawn message</span>&#160;- Displayed when the item has been withdrawn from circulation. You can continue to check in the item, or you can cancel the check-in.</li>
<li><span class="FM_BulletHead">Course reserve messages</span>&#160;- If your library uses Polaris course reserves, and an item is on reserve for a course, a message informs you that the item is on reserve. You may also see a message if the reserve item is intended for use in the library only. Click <b>OK</b>&#160;and put the items in the appropriate areas for reserve items. See <a href="../PPcourseres/Managing_Course_Reserves.htm" class="MCXref xref"><span style="color: Blue;" class="mcFormatColor">Managing Course Reserves</span></a>.</li>

When you attempt to check in an overdue item, a Fine dialog box indicates that a fine is being charged. The fine amount in the dialog box shows an amount related to the item you are checking in. The dialog box also warns you if the patron owes additional money not related to this item. </p>
<p>To pay, waive, or charge a fine to a patrons account when you check in an overdue item:</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:<br /></b>In Polaris Administration, the Patron Services parameter <b>Check in: auto-charge fine from item work form and find tool context menu</b>&#160;controls whether overdue fines are automatically charged to the patron account when overdue items are checked in from the Item workform, the Find Tool context menu, or the Patron Status workform - Items Out view.

(The Year-to-date and Lifetime statistics for in-house usage are updated in each item record, but the circulation statistics are not updated.)</p>
<p><a name="kanchor736"></a><a name="IX_procedure_8"></a><a name="kanchor737"></a><a name="IX_in_house_procedure"></a>To check in items that were used in-house:</p>

<p class="NoteShade"><b><b>Tip:<br></br></b></b>If you are working with a number of items, some with barcodes and some with RFID tags, group the items so that you process all of one type, then all of the other.

In check-in InHouse mode, security bits are not affected.</li></ul></li>
</ol>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:<br></br></b>You must select <b>Tools, RFID Check In</b> or press<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">&#160;</span><b>F9</b><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">&#160;</span>for each batch of items you place on the RFID antenna tray. </p>
