See the Swagger Circulation API interface to try it out.
When an item is returned successfully via an LCF API check-in request, if alerts are encountered (e.g. in-transit, reservation allocated, items status trap) the following response fields will now be set:
If an alert is displayed when the item is returned, the 'special attention' field value will be set to 02 (or 'Item requires special attention' per LCF code list).
The text of the alert will be set in the 'special-attention-note' field. If multiple alerts are encountered, the text of each alert will be concatenated in same field, with a double-hyphen separator (' -- ').
See the Swagger LCF 1.0 or LCF 1.2 API interface to try it out.
