--- Comment #31 from Melia Meggs <[email protected]> --- I think they are two different things - one is concerned with overdue fines only, and the other is concerned with paying/refunding the replacement price. ForgiveFineWhenLost - an item goes overdue and starts to accrue fines. Eventually, it goes to lost status but has maybe accrued $300 in overdue fines already. Now that the item is lost, the library wants to charge the replacement price for the lost item but is not concerned about collecting the $300 in overdue fines. So this sys pref lets you forgive all of the overdue fines when the item goes to lost. RefundLostItemFeeOnReturn - an item goes to lost, and the replacement price is charged. But then later the patron finds the lost item and returns it. Right now, I think Koha refunds the replacement price to the patron. Some libraries aren't allowed to refund money that patrons have already paid them, so this sys pref makes it so that you can choose whether the replacement price is refunded to the patron or not. ('He found the book, so he is not required to pay the replacement price any more and gets a refund' versus 'He kept the book for so long that we thought it was lost, so now he must pay regardless'). At least I think that's the idea... Kyle, please correct me if I got any of that is wrong! -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. _______________________________________________ Koha-bugs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.koha-community.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/koha-bugs website : http://www.koha-community.org/ git : http://git.koha-community.org/ bugs : http://bugs.koha-community.org/
