Stockitem Report – Most Recent Return (Damaged Item Notice)

  • Letter: &STKMRR.QRP (can be customised)
  • Email: &STKMRRE.QRP (can be customised)

These reports are for sites who return items from the Borrower's records when they are damaged but still want to bill people for the costs of the damaged item. It will display the LAST borrower who had the item. If a site does not return the item when it is damaged (and keeps the item on loan), then Circulation reports can still be used.
