[Koha] fines problem

[savitra sirohi]

Kate, you refer to fines logs. Have you checked the patrons' page for
overdues and fines? For the fine log to work you should check the fineslog
sys pref.

One more thing - I believe the patron categories (administration->patron
categories) must have the overdue flag set.

Thanks,

>> Nicole,
>> I've been told that the fines cron job is running (since I am an express

>> Savitra,
>> Finesmode is set to production.
>>
>> The circ rules are pretty basic.
>> Staff has no fines so: Staff - Item type: default- Fine amount: $0-14 day
>> loan period
>> For patrons there are two fine types:
>> Default item type -- fine amount $.10 -- 14 day loan period
>> New Materials item type -- fine amount $1.00 -- 14 day loan period

>> I did have a number of fine days but took it out to see if it would change

>> Thanks for any pointers.
