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.
