This documentation explains the Check-Out to Remote Site function in Sierra and provides the steps for using the function.
...
Choose INN-Reach - Check-Out to Remote Site from the Function list.
Enter or scan the barcode of an item requested by a patron at another site. No patron information is necessary.
Depending on the current status of the request, the system can display the following messages:
Proceed as appropriate based on the message displayed.
Request Has Been Cancelled
If the request was cancelled at the patron site after you printed a paging slip for the item, Sierra displays the following prompt:
00-00-00: cancelled by .p0000000@site1
...
In response to this prompt, choose OK. The system returns you to the Check-Out to Remote Site screen. The “(“ status (PRSPCTR PAGED) will be cleared from the item record.
Request Is Same-server
An INN-Reach request is considered "same-server" if both the owning site and patron site belong to the same Local Server. The system must convert a same-server INN-Reach transaction to a local hold. This can happen when a MLN1 patron places a hold on an MLN1 library’s item through Prospector or a MLN2 patron places a hold on a MLN2 library’s item through Prospector.
If a request is same-server, Sierra displays the following prompt:
00-00-00 requested by .p0000000@site1 for pickup at location.
In response:
Choose OK to continue. The system displays the following message:
Send book to above patron at location. Item has been set to status IN TRANSIT.
Choose OK to continue. The system converts the request to a standard circulation transaction and displays the item in the summary table with the value "IN TRANSIT" in the Due Date column.
The Holdnote field on the Item-Level hold will have the message “Converted INN-Reach request”
...
Request Is Active
If the INN-Reach request is still active, Sierra displays the following prompt:
00-00-00 requested by .p0000000@site1 for pickup at location. Item has status PAGED and has been cleared. Send book to above patron at location.
In response to this prompt, choose OK.
...
The TO is for the courier code of the borrowing library (example C122).
The FROM is the courier code for the lending library.
...
No Record of an INN-Reach Request for the Item
...
Choose the OK button to clear this message. The item can then be reshelved.
