Don't allow check in unless dues are cleared.
Hi all, We have migrated to koha a month ago and are very happy ever since. We have a policy that if a book has some fine, the patron must pay it at the time of returning the book. Unless he clears the due, he should not be allowed to return the book. How do I enforce this in koha? Regards, Navaneeth Kishore
I don't believe Koha is capable of such a policy! I've never heard of one like that before. Just out of curiosity, does that mean if the patron cannot pay, the item continues to accrue more fines?

@kyle, unfortunately yes. I am just a student admin. I raised your same question to the staff in the past. I guess librarians around here are evil! @vikram, Can you please elaborate, as I am unable to find this. Thanks!

Maybe the following will suit your needs. There is the Koha system preference "FineNotifyAtCheckin" - setting it to "Notify" all books that have overdue fines owed on them will pop up a warning when checking them in. This warning will need to be acknowledged before you can continue checking items in. With this preference set to "Don't notify", you will still see fines owed on the patron record, you just won't have an additional notification at check in. See http://manual.koha-community.org/3.22/en/administration.html#FineNotifyAtChe... Hope this helps. Best wishes, Michael -- Geschäftsführer · Diplombibliothekar BBS, Informatiker eidg.
