Chris, Part of that can be done automatically. There is a cron job that can run to automatically mark items lost after they were due a certain period of time and charge the patron. However, once you mark the item paid for there is no automated process to change the item to Lost & Paid for - that has to be done manually (as the system stands now). See N.1.2.4. Long Overdues on http://koha-community.org/documentation/3-2-manual/?ch=a12823#AEN12838 for more info. Nicole 2010/9/3 Chris Hobbs <chobbs@nhusd.k12.ca.us>:
When a patron has lost an item, or the appropriate amount of overdue days have accrued, the item is placed into a 'Billed' status in our system (Billed is one of our Lost options). When the patron pays for the book, we want the lost status of the item to change to 'Paid'. We'd also like the book to be checked in at that point.
Is there a way to handle this automatically, or do our librarians need to touch the Fine, the item status, and circulation to keep all of this in sync?
Thanks!
