If a borrower has lost a resource or a leaver has left with a resource still on loan, you may want to mark the resource as missing and return the resource from that borrower’s record. For convenience, you can mark resources as missing from Circulate, from the Current Loans and Resources table and from a Borrower record card. It is also possible to mark multiple items as missing in one go.

 

·Select the resource that you wish to mark as missing, by highlighting it in the grid.

 

·From the menu on the right of Management, click Missing.

 

·A new box will open where you can choose how to handle the missing item. The options are described in the table below.

 

 

Missing Reason

You can enter a missing reason which allows you to store a short note about why the item was marked as missing. This is helpful when you are auditing the data in your recycle bin.

Return Resource

Check this box to return the resource when it is marked as missing. If you do not check this box, the resource will remain on loan. Doing this would enable you to continually send reminders to the Borrower.

Replacement Cost

Entering a replacement cost will debit the amount from the respective borrower's account.

 

 

·To commit the changes, click OK. The resource will immediately be moved to the recycle bin and any other options applied.
