Configure a point of sale (POS) printing notification to be printed immediately upon an item's successful checkout to confirm its due date.

Use this template to configure a point of sale (POS) printing notification to be printed immediately upon an item's successful checkout to confirm its due date.

 Caution: When a member library enables a single Next-Generation Notification, all of its legacy notifications are disabled. For group aware libraries, OCLC recommends coordinating a single rollout window across the consortium to avoid patrons experiencing mixed notification experiences when borrowing from multiple libraries.
