    Fines not being created for overdue returns.

    • Article Type: General
    • Product: Aleph
    • Product Version: 20, 21, 22, 23

    Description:
    When an overdue item is checked in and there should be fines, no fines are displayed and nothing get added to the patron's cash data. And no z31 cash record is created.

    Resolution:
    The patron in question had the z305_ignore_late_return flag set to "Y". This flag appears in the GUI Local Patron Information / as the option "Late Return Ignored".

    The complete logic for overdue fines is described in the article " How are regular overdue fines calculated? **MASTER RECORD** " (KB 8192-4555).

    If the z31 is created but doesn't display, then see the article "Cash transactions don't display in GUI Circ" (KB 8192-4553).
