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.
