You can use Deactivate item when lost and lost processing charges paid to specify that lost items are deactivated when the associated lost and lost processing charges are paid.

1. From the Module Menu select Maintenance, Circulation and then General Parameters.
2. Set the Grace period for lost and paid items.

   null	There is no limit to the number of days.
   0	Lost and paid items are NOT reactivated.
   n	Lost and paid items are reactivated if they are returned within "n" number of days, e.g. set this to 50 and items will be reactivated if returned within 50 days of deactivation.

3. Press Tab or click anywhere on the screen to enable to Save options.
4. Click Save or Save & Close.
