481.17.4 Location restrictions[//]

One feature of the transfer processing is the ability to limit the locations from which an item can be sent to a missing manager.

Location restrictions: use this option to define the locations for which the selected status can be used. After selecting a code and choosing this option an input form is displayed:

This is a form where the full list of locations (belonging to the current circulation metainstitution) in the form Institution/Location is shown in the left hand control. Selected locations can be moved to the right. Those on the right may NOT use the loan status. By default, a given loan status is available to all locations.

481.17.5 Overnight processing[//]

There are several time-dependent processes associated with the loan status settings, as described above. These are

·                To change the loan status automatically from one state to another

·                The period for which the loan status setting is considered as “current” for a borrower

·                The period for which the loan stays as a loan (the Retain on loan period setting)

·                The ability to remove codes completely from the system (when teh Delete when no longer used parameter is ON)

Loan status processing: Starts the processing of the loan statuses. After choosing this option the system will switch to the standard dialogue for scheduling processes.

When this process is started in batch or memory, a report will be available via AFO 642. The report is written out based on the language code found in the UserID record (AFO 611) which is used to start / schedule the process and the output will not change to the current viewer's language as it is written out as part of the processing.
