We also backdate when checking in items. However, we go ahead and add an entry in the closed date editor to ensure that fines do not accrue on those days we are closed. I should add that we usually are able to put this closed date into the system at least one day before the closed date. I am not sure if the closed date can be entered the same day and fines not accrue.
