Learn how to use batch processing to receive and return items in Tipasa.

Follow the below procedures to perform batch processing as a borrower. Batch processing has a limit of 100 requests at a time. The batch icon (A screenshot of the batch icon, a calendar with an arrow from Tipasa) appears on queues in the left navigation where batch processing is available.

To use batch processing to receive items:

  1. Navigate to Borrowing Requests > In Transit in the left navigation bar.
  2. At the top of the screen, click Batch receive "In Transit" items.
  3. Provide a Date Received.
  4. Optional. Click Print Book Straps. The selected items will be added to the Print Queue.
  5. In the Request ID field, manually enter a request ID number, scan a barcode, or click the plus symbol (Add button) to add a request.
  6. Click Receive Items. A confirmation message appears and the requests are updated to Received.

 Note: If you have enabled WorldShare Circulation and Tipasa integration or non-WMS and Tipasa integration, do not batch receive loan requests.  Each request should be received separately so that an item barcode can be specified for use in WorldShare Circulation.

To use batch processing to return items:

  1. Navigate to Borrowing Requests > Received in the left navigation bar.
  2. At the top of the screen, click Batch return "Received" items. The screen will refresh to include the additional batch processing fields. 

     Note: The Date Returned defaults to the current date.

  3. Optional. Click Print Return Labels. The selected items will be added to the Print Queue.
  4. In the Request ID field, manually enter a request ID number, scan a barcode or click the plus symbol (Screenshot of the Plus symbol) to add a request.
