Hi Jennifer,
This doesn't really answer your questions (sorry!), but in looking at
your billing types, it seems odd to me that your Lost Materials and Lost
Materials Proc Fee are owned by ATS and not the consortium (I'm assuming
ASLAN is the consortium).
Those are stock system-generated billing types that are typically owned
by the consortium.
I've attached a screenshot of the stock billing types for your reference
that I took from the community demo server. All of the billing types
listed in that screenshot, with the exception of Misc, are the
system-generated ones.
Have a nice weekend!

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.
