Problem Symptoms

• circjob.log shows

• Items are getting a DISCHARGE_DATE on the FINE_FEE table, but no record of discharge on the CIRC_TRANS_ARCHIVE table
• Items still show as charged. 

Cause

Items are currently overdue, still charged to patrons, and have been assessed accrued fines.

Solution

• Job runs and accrued fines and fees are calculated and updated in FINE_FEE table. DISCHARGE_DATE field is populated with the date/time of the assessment of the accrued fine (i.e., when the job runs).
• When items are returned and discharged at circulation desk, FINE_FEE will be updated with the final fine/fee assessment and DISCHARGE_DATE will reflect date of discharge
