Problem Symptoms:
Aleph enhanced to provide an infrastructure for paying patron's debts via OPAC. A new PUT DLF-API (put-pat-cash) has been introduced to support the ability to pay patron's debts via OPAC-Library Card-Cash Transactions List. This allows receiving payment data from an external payment system (e.g. PayPal). Upon payment action is completed, Aleph is updated by a PUT action of the Cash list DLF-API. The cash transaction data (Z31) is updated. It is the library responsibility to set a payment receiver account at the external payment system and to implement a payment URL and a payment response when interfacing with the payment provider. Aleph DLF-API for Paying Patron's Debts.

A new DLF has been introduced. Fixed with rep_change #002036 in version 22.1.0
