19 Item status update

This command takes the opposite direction of the others: The device does not ask, it reports. It sends item details it has determined itself – the weight from the scale of a sorter, say, or the identifier of a newly fitted RFID label – so that the library system can keep them.

Nothing is booked. Neither checkout nor check-in is affected.

Field Length Required Content
item properties ok 1 yes 1 stored, 0 not stored
timestamp 18 yes date and time on the library system
Identifier Required Content
AB yes item identifier from the request
AJ no short title
CH no item properties as now stored

A library system that does not store the properties answers 0. That is not an error but a factual statement: The message arrived and was not adopted.
