When checking in an item from the Lender, you can click the Partial/Incorrect button to indicate that the item is a) not the correct requested item, or b) does not contain all requested pieces or items. Once this button is clicked, the request will move to the status of Received Partial/Incorrect Item. Once a request is at this status, you can deal with manually it on a case by case basis. It will remain in this queue until you move it to a different status.
Partial/Incorrect Possible Scenarios
The following are example scenarios, and may or may not reflect your actual situation or workflow.
Scenario 1
For a hard-copy item request, you receive an item that is not the correct item.

- Skip the steps to print slips or contact the customer
- Move straight to the Check In from customer screen and check the item in

- When you click Send Request from the work form it will ask if you want to replace the OCLC request, click Yes
Scenario 2
For an article request, you notice when doing Electronic Delivery that an article is incorrect or is scanned wrong.
- Clear the file from Electronic Delivery
- Route the request to Received Partial/Incorrect Item
- Contact the other library to have them resend the article
- When you receive the resend, if it is an Odyssey request it will move to Awaiting Odyssey Processing and the Electronic Delivery process will happen again. You can also check the article in manually.
Scenario 3
