Patron Local Cost Charges Appear Although tab18.eng Lines = N

• Article Type: General
• Product: Aleph
• Product Version: 18.01

Description:
Dollar amounts appear in Patron Local Cost, when Borrowing receives a returnable or a non-returnable request. However, no cash transaction is created.
Our tab18.eng has the ILL lines set to:
0011 ##### ## N ILL request
0015 ##### ## N Y ILL material arrival
0016 ##### ## N Library charge for incoming ILL request
Why do these charges appear?

Resolution:
While the ill-bor-charge and ill_lend_charge table amounts are not actually used to create cash transactions if line 0015 in tab18.<lng> has column 4 set to N, numbers from these tables WILL display.
In order to stop the price amounts from displaying, comment out the lines in both ./<ILL library>/tab/ill_bor_charge and ./<ILL library>/tab/ill_lend_charge.
Please note that the charges, if they exist, are inserted into the Z411 record at an early stage and they are updated ONLY
[1] when the request is created or modified
[2] after adding a new potential supplier.

If the following files still exist, Integrated ILL users should also remove tab_ill_charge from both the ADM library (xxx50) and the ILL library (xxx40) and tab_ill_in_charge from the ILL library (xxx40). These are leftovers from WebILL.
