    Problem Symptoms:
    A patron was charged for overdue fees when the loan rolled to a status of Lost. Only Lost fines should be calculated.

    Cause:
    The parameter "overdue_at_lost_loan" was defined as "true"

    The Fulfillment Guide says:

    "Indicate false if you want to disregard overdue fines for items that were lost by the user. Otherwise, set to true to create charges for overdue fines"

    Resolution:
    To disable creation of overdue fees when a loan is changed to lost:

    * Select the Fulfillment Configuration Menu
    * Select > Other Settings (under: General)
    * Change the variable "overdue_at_lost_loan" to "false"
