[Wactclc-alma] Disconnecting a lost item from patron record

[Guidry, Wade]

You can also do this in bulk, but creating a set of loans, and then running “close lost loans” against the set:

This job will remove a set of lost loans from any patron records, but will leave any associated unpaid fees on the patrons’ records.

Tammy,

You don't want to check-in the item if the book is still lost.  Go to the student's circulation record and Click on the ellipsis at the end of the record for the item in question.  Chose the "Delete Loan" option.  This will remove the item from the student record and keep the lost status.  If you check-in the item from the student record the item will become available again, and you don't want that if the item is still lost.

How do I disconnect a lost book from the record of the patron who borrowed it?  The lost book has been paid for, so it no longer needs to be attached to the patron record, but still needs to be marked as lost (not missing).
