[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Billing types - why can't I see them?

[Walz, Jennifer]

Jason,

Ok.  So, can you confirm for me that ALL of the ones I listed are system generated – even those that seem to be for ATS?   And the two that I created from scratch are then the only ones I should actually see – because I created them?    What is the purpose of the OU listed in the other column?

  Permissions relates to the View_Billing_Types.  I actually didn’t have any billing types for our OU in the Billing Types list first.  Then it seemed that I did not have permission to see any beyond our OU.   When I changed the permissions, I thought I should be able to see those that are listed in my list as ASLAN (our consortium name) as well as those at our sister institution (ATS) when I go to bill a patron.   But that appears to not be the case??   I think what you are saying is that no matter how they are listed in the Billing Types list (with the OU next to it), the permission for View_Billing_Types does not take effect.     What is the View_Billing_Types permission for?    Maybe for acquisitions instead?

Thanks!

Jennifer

Jennifer,

You indeed will not have the stock billing types (other than Misc) available as options in the Bill Patron interface.  They're reserved for system use.  The main controlling factor here for what you see appears to be your workstation library.  I'm not sure how that intersects with permissions.
