To specify whether items with a particular status are excluded from the loan quota validation:

1. From the Module Menu select Maintenance, Circulation and then Item Status.
2. Select the status you want from the list.
3. Set Exclude from loan quota validation 0, 1 or 2.

   0	No.
   1	Yes.
   2	Yes if the associated lost charge has been paid or waived. This only applies to the Lost status.

4. Click Save or Save & Close.

Let's see an example. Say the maximum loans for a policy is 10, and our borrower already has 10 items on loan. One of the items has a Claims Returned status. To keep it simple, we’ll assume all the loans are under one policy.

• If the Claims Returned status has Exclude from loan quota validation set to No then you’ll see the POLQUOTA alert pop up when you try to issue another item to the borrower, i.e. this new loan would be the 11th under this policy.

• If the Claims Returned status has Exclude from loan quota validation set to Yes then you won’t see the POLQUOTA alert pop up, i.e. this new loan would be the 10th under this policy since we’ve exclude the claims returned item.

Null means the same as No.
