+. The note is applied to the last borrower's account and the item is set to _Damaged_ and checked back out
+to the patron's account.
++
+[NOTE]
+======
+This method of setting an item as missing pieces is missing the letter that is generated at the end of the
+process. If that letter is important to your workflow you should always mark items missing pieces

+
+. Go to *Circulation -> Scan Item as Missing Pieces*.

+alert, or block on the patron's account.

+======
+This pop-up is the old Notes pop-up and is missing the functionality that allows staff to select the display
+depth and set a note as patron visible so it displays to the patron in My Account.
+======
++
+. Click *OK*.
++
+image::circulating_items_web_client/mark-missing-pieces-3.png[]
++

+are never returned and the item is deleted. Notes related to the item must be manually removed from
+the patron's account.
+
+[NOTE]
+======
+Libraries can choose to use a different item status for missing pieces instead of _Damaged_. The
+library setting _Item Status for Missing Pieces_ is used to set this.
+======
=== Lost Items ===
1) To mark items Lost, retrieve patron record and click *Items Out*.
If you need to balance a bill with a negative amount, you need to add two dummy bills to the existing bills. The first one can be of any amount (e.g. $0.01), while the second should be of the absolute value of the negative amount. Then you need to void the first dummy bill. The reason for using a dummy bill is that Evergreen will check and close the circulation record only when payment is applied or bills are voided.
-=== Claimed Returned Items ===
-
-1) To mark an item Claimed Returned, retrieve the patron record and go to the *Items Out* screen.
-
-2) Select the item, then select *Actions* -> *Mark Claimed Returned* from the dropdown menu.
