CANCEL/REFUND LOST ITEM FEE
(Note: The refunding of the lost item processing fee when an item using ACTUAL COST is returned has already been coded. What differs between the ACTUAL COST - FF OWNER and ACTUAL COST - SHARED OWNER stories is in green text below.)

• If the patron was not charged a Fee/fine owner specific lost item fee for the actual amount for this item (see CIRC-730) they may have been charged a "Shared" Fee/fine owner lost item fee. (If not, there is no need to continue.) To find out, you must access the the Manual charges table for the purpose of locating the the Use for actual cost setting for Fee/fine owner "Shared". If the setting is blank, there is no need to continue. Otherwise, it will contain the value of the Fee/fine type used by the "Shared" Fee/fine owner for charging the actual cost. See if the patron has a fee/fine record associated with the loaned item that has that Fee/fine type.

• If fee/fine record for Fee/fine type is not found
  • Do nothing further with the lost item fee
• Else
  • Continue on

• If the fee wasn't totally waived, paid, transferred and/or cancelled already (i.e. there is a Remaining amount), you must cancel what is left by creating a fee/fine "action" record for the lost item fee that is a CANCELLATION of the remaining lost item fee (see attachment FF-Details-Cancellation.jpg)
