Koha - notices and slips: how to include total amount outstanding on a notice
Dear Fellow Koha Users, I was wondering if anyone has managed to figure out how to include the total amount outstanding in a notice. In our case we do not charge fines, but once an item is subjected to the 'longoverdue.pl' process the replacement cost of the item is added to the patrons' accounts. We want to include the total amount in the notice re same, in addition to the replacement cost,[which we have in the notice] but can't seem to find the right table/column to include. I hope that makes sense. Any advice would be very welcome! Yours, Niamh Walker-Headon BA, MSc LIS, ALAI.

Hello, Which version of Koha are you using? And which notices do you want to modify? IIRC longoverdue.pl only sends CHECKIN. Regards, Jonathan On Wed, 6 Jun 2018 at 07:41 Walker-Headon, Niamh - Systems Librarian < Niamh.Walker-Headon@it-tallaght.ie> wrote:

I do not think you can do that, accountlines are not passed when the notice is generated. You could take a look at the template toolkit syntax, something like [% patron.account.balance %] should display what you want. But this is a new feature and you will have to rewrite the whole template of the notice. *could* *should*, I did not test.

Hello,
Which version of Koha are you using?
And which notices do you want to modify? IIRC longoverdue.pl only sends CHECKIN.
