Loan Returned Confirmation

Configure a point of sale (POS) printing notification to be printed immediately when a loan is successfully returned.

Use this template to configure a point of sale (POS) printing notification to be printed immediately when a loan is successfully returned.

 Caution: When a library enables a Next-Generation Notification, its corresponding legacy notification(s) will be disabled. For Group Aware libraries, OCLC recommends coordinating a single rollout window for Next-Generation Notifications across the consortium to avoid patrons experiencing mixed notification experiences when borrowing from multiple libraries.
