| If a loan request passed through several lenders before being filled, it is possible that the Lending Library to Borrowing Library notifications will be triggered based on the wrong due date. This happens when any of the earlier potential lenders saved a due date on the request but then said no or the request aged to the next lender. The notification will be initiated for the current supplier based on their notification settings, but based on the potential lender’s incorrect due date. |

When symbols are repeated in either the original or resubmitted lender string it may result in the following:
- If a lending symbol appears twice in either the original lending string or in the resubmitting lender string, while the request is assigned to that lender, it will appear twice in the borrower’s Awaiting Response queue, and the lender’s Can You Supply queue. Note that the counts in the left sidebar are correct, and once the lender responds to the request the duplicate rows will disappear.
- If a lending symbol was last in the original lender string and is first in the resubmitted lender string, the request isn’t routed to the lender. If the request was only resubmitted to that lender, it will be closed as unfilled.

When the borrowing library adds an Article Exchange document to a request at In Transit status, the Mark as Received action is not saving the AE information to the request. Because the status is updated to Received, the automated notification will be sent to the patron and the request will close. The patron will see the request as “Completed,” but there will not be an AE link available.
This scenario may be encountered when the supplying library sent the document by email or shipped the article without first including the document. In this case, the borrowing library adds the document for the patron to access via the user portal.
