sip2: patrons with fines are allowed to borrow materials
- Article Type: General
- Product: Aleph
- Product Version: 20
Problem Symptoms:
The sip2_server allows patrons with fines to borrow materials even though the patron's cash total exceeds the z305_cash_limit.
(Note: the z305_cash_limit can be seen in the GUI Circ Patron - Local Patron values.)
Cause:
Entry missing from tab_check_circ.
Resolution:
The blocking of loans due to excessive fines is performed by the following tab_check_circ checks:
! 5 : check patron cash limit
! checks whether the patron has exceeded the amount allowed
! in z305_cash_limit - uses O(pen) and T(ransferred) transactions
! 5_b: check patron cash limit
! checks whether the patron has exceeded the amount allowed
! in z305_cash_limit - uses only O(pen) transactions and not T(ransferred)
Add the following to each xxx50 tab_check_circ:
SIP-AUTH check_circ_5_b
