Changing the Serials Checkin Date

Each time you check in an issue, Serials records the date when that issue is received. Serials uses this receipt date to calculate the expected date of the next issue. The next issue’s expected date, if it comes and goes without the issue being received, determines when Horizon generates a claim. Therefore, it is important that the receipt date be accurate.

Horizon uses your system’s internal date as the receipt date, and it usually matches real time. Horizon displays the checkin date on the title bar of Serials Checkin:

However, you may occasionally need the receipt date to reflect a date other than the current date. You can use the Change Checkin Date feature to change the date. The date appears on the title bar and becomes the receipt date until you change the date back to the current date.
