[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Overdue to lost conversion

[George Tuttle]

I have found the feature, converting overdue items to lost, listed on
open-ils.org under New Back-End/Admin Features in 1.6.0.0. It is called:
Auto-marking items as lost after specific overdue period. What are the
characteristics of this feature or where can I find this information?

My understanding is that Evergreen 1.6 has a feature for converting long
overdue items to the Lost status so that the patron is charged for the price
of the item. This is a standard ILS feature. How does it function in
Evergreen? Does it follow the following design:

Does it have alternative ways of handling the Lost item charge? Has the
feature been deployed by any consortiums? Problems? Issues?

 

Thanks for any info
