All --<br><br>If this were a question about overdue fines, there would be nothing preventing this kind of rule from being expressed in the current structure under "Circulation and fines rules", as Lino suggests. But Joann is not asking about an overdue fine. She is talking about a rental charge, specified under "Item types and circulation codes". The itemtype logic does not break out into pieces like the circ/fine rules.<br>
<br>The idea of a percent discount is the part that does not exist in any version of Koha that I have seen. It would add a level of complexity inasmuch as the logic has to retrieve and synthesize two rules to get the correct result. But Jesse is correct that % off rental charge could be implemented as a single additional field. This %-off other overdue fine would be more complicated I think.<br>

Hi there,<br>
<br>
I have set up my parametres etc, including circulation rules, but I can't seem to find a place to say which borrower categories are exempt from paying which rental charges (ie by item types).<br>
<br>
For example, Patrons with category set to "Deaf" do not have to pay rental charges for item types = "DVD" but everyone else does.<br>
<br>
Thanks for help,<br>
<br>
cheers Jo.<br></blockquote></div><br>
