Temporary workarounds for bug 23091 to charge overdue fines on formerly lost items
I recently discovered that our library is being impacted by bug 23091 - Add options to charge new or restore forgiven overdues when a lost item is returned. <https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=23091> I'm curious to hear if others have a good workaround process for re-charging overdues manually when items are returned, or are you just forgiving the fines until there is a fix? I'm worried about how to clearly communicate to circ staff how to properly re-calculate overdue fines once assumed lost items are returned...especially with our library having reduced open days (so less days when a fine should have accrued) during COVID. -- Joelle Hannert Library Technical Services Coordinator Northwestern Michigan College (231) 995-1684 Work days: M, T, Th, F
I ended up creating a worksheet in Google sheets to help auto-calculate the amount that should be charged. Happy to share if others are having this same issue. On Wed, Sep 23, 2020 at 2:20 PM Joelle Hannert <jhannert@nmc.edu> wrote:
