At times, POS transactions fail and this error is due to outdated SKU, rental duration, or pricing info. RedShelf's servers are up-to-date with the changes, reflected in our nightly catalog files.
The SKU Lookup tool is very useful to make sure your store's product information is up to date.
Note: Only "Bookstore Managers" within the organization page has access to the SKU Lookup Tool
