I am  having a  problem with my Koha implementation. When an item is checked
out and it is overdue, it is indicated as so in the user account. However,
when it is checked in, the fines do not appear on the patron’s account. Here
is my typical loan rule table:



Patron Category

Item Type

Fine Amount

Fine Days

Fine Grace Period

Fine Charging Interval

Checkouts Allowed

Loan Period

Undergraduate Students

Mpilo Reserve books

$2.00

20day(s)

Undergraduate Students

Mpilo Short Term Loan Books

Undergraduate Students

Mpilo Two week loan Books

$1.00

Now when I loan out an item of type reserve to patron category
undergraduate, the item when overdue, it is indicated as such but when the
item is checked in, the fine is not shown on the patron’s account. I do not
know where I missed the point.
