[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Billing Fixes and Enhancements Sponsored by MassLNC

Thanks, Kathy. That's my expected behaviour. Tina


> Currently, let's say a patron claims to have returned an item that is
> overdue on their record. The claims returned date is two days after the
> due date, so the system automatically adds two days of overdue fines to
> the patron's bills.
>
> However, let's look at the same situation when the overdue items has
> already been switched over to lost. The fines stopped reason for the
> item changes to CLAIMSRETURNED, but the patron's record still retains
> the lost fee and no overdue fines are added, even if the claims
> returned date is two days after the due date.
>
> With this development, if the related library settings are enabled, the
> lost fee should be removed from the patron record. If the claimed
> returned date is after the due date, I think the appropriate overdue
> fines should be automatically added to the patron record as they are
> when an overdue item is in the same situation.
