Another very bad no good scenario - 

say you have some transits placed independently of reserves:

+------------+---------------------+------------+---------------------+----------+---------------+
| itemnumber | datesent            | frombranch | datearrived         |
tobranch | comments      |
+------------+---------------------+------------+---------------------+----------+---------------+
|        989 | 2012-12-27 15:25:38 | CPL        | NULL                | RPL    
 | NULL          |
|        989 | 2012-12-27 15:25:45 | RPL        | NULL                | SPL    
 | NULL          |
|        989 | 2012-12-27 15:25:51 | SPL        | NULL                | UPL    
 | NULL          |

Then you get one that goes with a reserve: 
+------------+---------------------+------------+---------------------+----------+---------------+
| itemnumber | datesent            | frombranch | datearrived         |

|        989 | 2012-12-27 15:25:38 | CPL        | NULL                | RPL    
 | NULL          |
|        989 | 2012-12-27 15:25:45 | RPL        | NULL                | SPL    
 | NULL          |
|        989 | 2012-12-27 15:25:51 | SPL        | NULL                | UPL    
 | NULL          |
|        989 | 2012-12-27 15:32:32 | SPL        | NULL                | CPL    
 | NULL          |
+------------+---------------------+------------+---------------------+----------+---------------+

Your staff member, seeing dual prompts (because you will see dual prompts
here), receives the item - all of the transits are marked arrived (and thus
lost), and no matter how many times you check this item in, nothing will happen
- the reserve is hung up, the transits are gone, it's in a properly bad way.
This will require human intervention and detective work to get out of: 
+------------+---------------------+------------+---------------------+----------+---------------+
| itemnumber | datesent            | frombranch | datearrived         |

|        989 | 2012-12-27 15:25:38 | CPL        | 2012-12-27 15:33:00 | RPL    
 | NULL          |
|        989 | 2012-12-27 15:25:45 | RPL        | 2012-12-27 15:33:00 | SPL    
 | NULL          |
|        989 | 2012-12-27 15:25:51 | SPL        | 2012-12-27 15:33:00 | UPL    
 | NULL          |
|        989 | 2012-12-27 15:32:32 | SPL        | 2012-12-27 15:33:00 | CPL    
 | NULL          |
