Summary: Problematic calculation of overdue recall fine
(overrides regular overdue fine)
Change sponsored?: ---
Product: Koha
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: P5 - low
Component: Fines and fees

Depends on: 19532
There is an issue with calculating fines when two conditions occur
simultaneously: a regular overdue and a overdue recall. Overdue recall fine
always replaces the regular overdue fine which can lead to significant reduce
or increase of previously calculated fine.
To see the problem:
1. Set finesMode to 'Calculate and charge' and UseRecalls to 'Use'.
2. In 'Circulation and fine rules' set:
'Fine amount' = 1
'Fine charging interval' = 1
'Recalls allowed (total)' = 1
'Recalls per record (count)' = 1
'Recall due date interval (day)' = 7
'Recall overdue fine amount' = 0.10
3. Checkout an item to a patron.
4. Manually, in the database, shift the due date to one year ago to create
'heavy' overdue (i.e. update issues set date_due = 'YYYY-MM-DD 23:59:00' where
issue_id = N).
5. Execute the ./misc/cronjobs/fines.pl script; note the fine amount in the
patron's account. It should be about $365.
6. From another patron's account make a recall on the issued item.
7. Manually, in the database, shift the created_date to a month ago (i.e.
update recalls set created_date = 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS' where recall_id = N).
8. Execute the ./misc/cronjobs/recalls/overdue_recalls.pl script.
9. Execute the ./misc/cronjobs/fines.pl script. Note that the fine amount in
the first patron's account has decreased substantially. It will be now about
$36.50.
(10. With 'Recall overdue fine amount' = 10 the new fine would be about $3,650
!).
This seems to be an unintended consequence of the changes
C4::Overdues::CalcFine made by bug 19532 and quite a serious bug.
