Serials Checkin differs from Circulation checkin. Circulation affects and tracks the status of material already held by your library. Serials Checkin tracks serial items that you receive and expect to receive, but which are not yet held by your library. Checking in serials is the process of integrating new serials materials into your library’s materials.
Before you can check in serials, a copy record must exist in Serials Control for each subscription to a title. (For information about copy records, see Creating or Editing a Copy Record.) If you attempt to check in an issue for which no copy record exists, Horizon displays a message telling you the title is not set up for checkin.
This diagram illustrates the Serials checkin process.
