Description

We see a fine in the GUI Loan display for an overdue item which has been declared Lost (z36_status = "L"), but we don't see any z31 Cash record for this fine.  Why is that?

Resolution

 
This is related to the xxx50 tab100 LATE-RET-FINE-WHEN-LOST variable.  This is the description in the tab100 header:

!# LATE-RET-FINE-WHEN-LOST
!# Values:Y N  Default: N
...
...
!
!  Y = When an item is declared lost, charge any overdue fines that have been
!  accrued up to this point of time. In addition, charge the lost-item charges
!  according to the regular tab34 definitions. If the item is later returned,
!  refund the lost-item charges according to the regular LOST-LOAN-CREDIT-METHOD
!  and REFUND-RATE tab100 variables policy. Do not create any new overdue
!  fines at this point.
