Check out items to departments

1. If it appears, select a site from the list.
2. Select the department from the list.
3. In the Find Item box, scan the item barcode, or type it in and click Find Item.
   
   If you do not have the item barcode at hand, you can search the database by entering a keyword from the description in the Find Item box and clicking Find Item.
   In the resulting list, click the resource name or Items you want to check out, and then click the barcode of an item.

Destiny® checks out the item to the department using the loan period defined in Resource Policies in the Back Office. The item then appears in the Checked Out section of the page. When another item is checked out to the same department, the previous checkout moves to the Items Out list.

In-hand Transfers

An in-hand transfer is when an item from another site in your district is scanned at your site, and then transferred to your site.

Example: An item in your district is scanned at your site, but it is currently assigned to another site in the district. If in-hand transfers are allowed, the system displays an in-hand transfer message.

If the item already has a status, such as checked out, selecting Yes to the in-hand transfer message resolves any previous statuses.

Notes: You can perform in-hand transfers only if the district has selected the Allow sites to receive by barcode scan permission. If you are unable to perform an in-hand transfer, contact your Destiny Administrator for access. By default, duplicate barcodes are not allowed across the district. To allow duplicate barcodes across the district, a Destiny Administrator must complete these steps.

To change the due date of the item in the Checked Out section:

1. Click Change.
2. On the Due Date page that appears, select the option on the left. If you select Selected date:
   • Enter a date in the Selected date box,
   • Select a date on the calendar, or
   • Select a Loan Period from the list.
3. Click Save.

The Special Date prompt then appears in front of the date.

To change the due date of any of the items listed under Items Out, you will need to check them out again.
