A new setting in Settings>Resource Sharing>Local NCIP settings titled ‘Use item barcode for Accept Item’ allows a tenant to use the supplier’s item barcode(s) in the NCIP Accept Item message instead of the request number to be used for the temporary item barcode when creating the brief/virtual item in their ILS. If the item barcode already exists in the ILS, the NCIP Accept Item will fail with a 'Barcode already exists' error. It is advised that libraries continually delete temporary items from their ILS to avoid this problem.

Staff have the ability to create a revised request and resubmit the request back into the system when requests are at either a state of end or rota OR cancelled. Once staff submit the new request, a Requests at an ‘end of rota’ or ‘cancelled’ state can be revised (i.e., linked to a different record in the shared catalog) and resubmitted as a new request, using the ‘Create revised request’ action. A new request number will be assigned along with and a new rota will be generated. If the original request being modified was at the end ‘end of rotarota’, the original request state will be moved changed to an End ‘End of rota - reviewed state reviewed’ so staff will know that the request has already been reviewed .In order to update a request while still active, for re-submission. Each request will display a new link next to ‘View in shared index’: ‘Based on a previous request’ or ‘Succeeded by a new request’, as appropriate.
Requests that are still active can also be revised and resubmitted, but only under the following conditions: the request must not have been filled yet be filled , and staff must first cancel the request as part of updating the citation data for itcurrent request and use ‘Create revised request’ update the metadata/link to a different record in the shared catalog.
