Symptoms

E-Kiosk postings are not included in the fines/fees sent by the Patron Circulation Actions – Debts API.

Defect Status

Issue 16384-20673 / VYG-1889 is resolved for Voyager 8.2.2 and higher.

Replication Steps

1. In Circulation, find a patron with fines/fees. [example: patron has lost item fee of $10.00]
2. Make two payments to these fines/fees:
   1. Payment 1 should have posting type “Payment” [$0.50]
   2. Payment 2 should have posting type “E-Kiosk” [$1.00]
3. Note the patron fine/fee balance. [$8.50]
4. Now log into Primo as the patron from step 1, or request patron fine/fee information from vxws with the API call: http://<IP>:<port>/vxws/patron/<patron_id>/circulationActions/debt?patron_homedb=1@<db_key>
5. Note the patron fine fee total (finesum):

<debt href="http://127.0.0.1:7014/vxws/patron/<patron_id>/circulationActions/debt/fines?institution=LOCAL&amp;patron_homedb=1@<db_key>">
<finesum>USD 9.50</finesum>
</debt>
</institution>
</debts>
</response>

6. The E-Kiosk posting is not factored into the total.
7. If you continue making API calls with the APIs returned, you will see that the E-Kiosk posting is returned with a value of 0.00
