> Consider this:
> 
> Max overdue threshold is set to .9
> Grace period is configured for 1 day
> Patron has 10 items checked out, all due yesterday
> Patron comes in today with a stack of books to check out, but does
> not return the overdue items
> 
> In this situation the patron will be allowed to check out the first
> item. When the circ occurs the standing penalties are recalculated,
> and the attempt to check out the second item will fail. The
> recalculation can also be forced by hitting the 'Refresh' button on
> the patron screen in the client.
> 
> Normally the standing penalties table is updated when the fine
> generator runs, but because of the grace period the update doesn't
> occur.
> 
> I'm curious to know how others handle this situation.

> Cheers,
