[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Bills Current Receipt Template and Total Owed

[Scott Thomas]

Hi Terran,
   I started to add the bug in Launchpad and this came up so it looks like we are not the first to run across it:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/821640

It didn't come up the first time I searched Launchpad.

Thank you,
Scott

Hi Scott,

There is a %balance_owed% macro that works on the 'checkout' receipt, but it does not work on the 'items_out' receipt. 

It sounds like that would be a good bug to add to launchpad!

Hi,
   We are at 2.6.3. Patrons often ask for a print-out of current bills that includes their overall balance. The Bills Current Receipt does have a %total_owed% macro, but, when we add it to the template, it gives the balance of the last bill listed on the receipt and not the balance of all bills on the receipt. I did check Launchpad and could not find this listed as a bug. What am I missing?

Thank you,
Scott
