Hi Dan,
Thanks for the quick reply. I should have included the Note field from
the column picker in the (present) screen shot. But there is nothing in
that field for any of the account_adjust payments for "System: VOIDED
OVERDUE FOR LOST". A check in the database for entries in
money.account_adjustment only shows note entries for "System: OVERDUE
REVERSED FOR CLAIMS-RETURNED" right now.

Hello Brent,
Those adjustments should already have a note, but it looks like your
note column is not displaying. Try adding it from the column picker
in the upper right corner of that box. The note should say “System:
VOIDED OVERDUE FOR LOST”. (Certainly not the best note as far as
wording goes, but I think it was just taken wholesale from the old
note applied to the billing.)
Sincerely,
Dan

*Subject:* [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Indication of what caused fine
forgiveness/voiding with Void overdue fines when items are marked lost
org unit setting on 2.9
Hello,
We recently upgraded to 2.9.1 from 2.7.5 and the negative balance
fixes have changed what some libraries -- with the /Void overdue fines
when items are marked lost /library setting enabled -- were used to
seeing in the patron bills tab.
Example:
Patron with overdue book has it marked lost. Library Setting for
"/Void overdue fines when items are marked lost/" is enabled for the
the library where this occurred.
Previously, the fines were voided as normal and the display gave a
little more information about what caused the voiding in the Note field.
Now, the overdue forgiveness has moved to the payment section which I
understand is correct from the conditional negative balance
documentation for 2.9 at
http://docs.evergreen-ils.org/2.9/_circulation_2.html
The account adjustment payment type will also be used for all
libraries, regardless of the state of negative balance settings,
in cases where overdue fines are adjusted when an overdue item is
marked lost.
I was wondering if there was a way to indicate what those payments are
for to the staff members? The account_adjustment payment type helps,
but it would be nice if there was a note field entry for "Overdue
Forgiveness Payments" or something like that.
Just curious how/if other libraries are handling this situation (or if
it's even an issue for most).
Thanks!
