p_cir_50: Error in material-handling and replacement costs for DVD's

• Article Type: General
• Product: Aleph
• Product Version: 20

Problem Symptoms:
Running cir-50 ("Overdue and Lost Billing Notices ") to generate a bill for lost material, the material handling and replacement costs are to be displayed on the bill and the lost-material-bill-00.xsl has been edited to reflect this:

<xsl:call-template name="display-gen">
<xsl:with-param name="label" select="'Lost Material - Handling:'"/>
<xsl:with-param name="value" select="./sum-1"/>
<xsl:with-param name="display" select="'always'"/>
</xsl:call-template>
<xsl:call-template name="display-gen">
<xsl:with-param name="label" select="'Lost Material - Replacement:'"/>
<xsl:with-param name="value" select="./sum-2"/>
<xsl:with-param name="display" select="'always'"/>
</xsl:call-template>
<xsl:call-template name="display-gen">
<xsl:with-param name="label" select="'Total:'"/>
<xsl:with-param name="value" select="./total"/>
<xsl:with-param name="display" select="'always'"/>
</xsl:call-template>
<xsl:call-template name="table-close"/>
</xsl:template>

When the lost item is a book, the code works correctly and displays a handling cost of $25 and a replacement cost of $75, which correctly matches the flat rates that we have set up in tab34.

But when the lost item is a DVD, the letter only displays a handling cost of $25, and no replacement cost at all. tab34 specifies flat rates for all different material types, including DVDs.

(This may be also be happening with materials other than DVD's.)

Cause:
The CVDVD collection is *not* included in tab34, column 6.

The $25.00 handling charge *is* assessed despite the lack a tab34 entry because of this line in tab18.eng:

0040 ##### ## ## Y 25.00 Lost material - Handling

Resolution:
1. Add an entry for sublibrary ABCMN, collection CVDVD, to tab34

2. Restart the pc_server.
