UBorrow Borrowing Workflow - Receiving multiple items at a time

Note:  You must choose the UBorrow library location first, or the joint Circ desk/UBorrow Library location to Receive material.

For Libraries that process large batches of requests each day, please use "Receiving Items", (see image below) instead of clicking "Receive" next to the request in Resource Sharing Borrowing Requests.

When receiving requests, if you use "Receiving Items", you can scan one request after another, instead of sorting through or searching 10s or 100s of requests in the List of Borrowing Requests and clicking on ... & "Receive" next to each request.  

This is a two-step process.

  • Step 1:  Scan the External ID, which should start with 01FALSC 
    • This should be listed on the Shipping Slip, see examples below

Step 2:  

  • Once you click "OK" on the Received Items form, another form will pop-up and you'll be prompted to scan in the Temporary Item barcode.  This should be the item barcode on the item, see example below.
  • This Temporary Item barcode will be used when loaning and returning the item in Fulfillment. 

 

After the you click "OK" the status of the request should change to "Physically Received by library".

Note:  Be sure to scan in the External ID at the first step.  If you attempt to scan in the item barcode, you'll get an error message, see example below.
