Recording payment against the fine balance
Tip: Since Circulation Desk doesn't deduct refunds from the total fine amount,
apply any refunds to the individual fines before accepting payment on the
remaining balance. For more information on applying refunds, see page 161.
If a patron wants to pay some or all of his/her fines, you can apply payment by
choosing Balance in the Fines window. The Pay Balance dialog appears:
Type the amount of payment here. Do not
enter an amount greater than the Amt Due.
Type the amount you want to waive, if any,
here. Make sure that the total of the
Payment and Waive amounts is not greater
than the Amt Due.
To print a receipt for paid fines, select this option. When you click Save,
the receipt prints at this workstation's default printer.
When you click Save, the Applying Payment progress dialog appears. Since you
do not have to pay the entire balance, Circulation Desk applies payment to the
oldest fines first and continues applying payments to each fine until the entire
payment is used. When Circulation Desk finishes applying payment, you return
to the Fines window. When a fine is paid in full, Circulation Desk deletes it from
the patron's record. Any note associated with the fine is also deleted.
If you selected the Print Fine Receipt Upon Save option, a receipt prints to your
workstation's default printer. Each 8.5" x 11" page contains two copies of the
receipt, one for the patron and one for your records. For a sample of the patron's
receipt, see page 156.
