Manually add a lost charge

In This Topic

Lost charges can be automatically applied to a borrower when an overdue item becomes lost.

You can also add a lost charge to an item manually. To do this:

Search for a borrower, load their details and then click the Loans link or the Overdues link in the transaction summary pane.
Select the item you want.
Click Edit Item Status to open the Item Status dialog.
Select "Lost" from the list of Available Statuses, and click Add. This opens the Add Lost Charge dialog.

The default replacement amount will be:

The item’s Retail price or
The item's Acquired price (if there’s no retail price) or
The Average price for the collection (if there’s no retail price or acquired price).

The default processing charge is taken from the borrower category or the collection.

Click OK to close the Add Lost Charge dialog , and then click OK again to close the Item Status dialog.
