In researching some options for handling our billing of lost items, I
was delighted to find the 'circ.void_overdue_on_lost' setting.
I was going to develop a couple similar options, such as:
'circ.void_lost_on_checkin', to remove lost charges if an item was
subsequently returned (perhaps based on date)
'circ.restore_overdue_on_lost_return', to restore the overdue charges
that are voided by 'circ.void_overdue_on_lost'
'circ.lost_immediately_available', to avoid having lost items travel
to their owning location before being circulated again
Somewhat thinking out loud there, but I 1.) wanted to see if I was
duplicating anyone's efforts, 2.) find out if there were other settings
I just hadn't discovered yet, and 3.) make sure that the
org_unit_settings were the preferred method to implement these sort of
features.
