How to delete loan transaction(s)?

You cannot delete a borrower or a library item that has active loan transactions. To delete a borrower or a library item, you must first process any outstanding returns.

Additionally, please remember to back up your library databases before attempting to delete or move any loan transactions.

How to delete one loan transaction ?

On the Edit/View tab click Loans (1).

In the Loans Database select the loan transaction (1) and click Delete (2).

How to delete a group of loan transactions ?

Define your search (1) by selecting "Name" in the "Field To Search" box, and enter the borrower's name (e.g., Smith, John). Review the displayed loan transactions (2).

Once you've reviewed them, click on the "Miscellaneous" tab and then select "Delete All" (2).

How to move loan transaction(s) ?

You can also move all or selected loan transactions to the OLD_LOANS table.

Note: If you delete a library item from the LIBRARY table or a borrower from the BORROWER table, the program will automatically delete all related loan transactions from the OLD_LOANS table.

Question:
How do I clear the sample fields (ie. the John Doe, John Smith ones)? They say it can't be deleted because there is a loan history (how do I clear the loan history).

Answer:
Process the check-in transaction for all loaned items, and then delete the sample records from the system. The system does not allow for the deletion of items or borrowers from the outstanding transactions.
