Patron information always
appears above transacĆ
tion information.
Each transaction is classified
as either SUCCESSFUL or
FAILED.
A block condition message
can appear after each
transaction after a policy
has been violated.
The Remote Circulation exception report always ends with a summary, such as
the following:
================================================================================
Remote Circulation Summary
================================================================================
Total transactions...... 6 Titles checked out.... 2
Titles checked in..... 1
Titles renewed........ 1
Failed transactions... 2
Holds made ready........ 1 Fines assessed........ 2
Total fines........... 5.00
Refunds created....... 0
Total refunds......... 0.00
The transaction information on the exception report is always presented in the
same way: patron information followed by any conditions that apply to the
patron, then transaction information, including its success or failure, followed by
any conditions that apply to the transaction.
This exception report resides in the Exception Report folder within your Follett
Applications folder.
The word FAILED or SUCCESSFUL appears to the left of the transaction
information. A successful transaction is just that: a checkout, renewal, or check-in
for which both the copy barcode and the patron barcode are found in your
database. A transaction fails if either or both of these are unknown.
