When a user has an item that they have claimed is lost, the best practice is to Mark the Item as Lost. WorkFlows will automatically create a bill for this item which retains the link between the bill, user, and item.
- Open the CheckOut Wizard and Retrieve the user account.
- Right click on the title that is damaged beyond repair.
- Select Mark Item Lost.
- Click OK in the confirmation window.
- Update the Lost Item price and/or Processing fee if needed.
- Click Bill User.
- Click OK in the confirmation window.
- If the user is paying for the item now, or if the bill is being forgiven, follow normal procedures to pay the bill.
Notes: Library directors receive an automated monthly e-mail of items that have been lost and paid for.
