Description Marjorie Barry-Vila 2015-01-26 19:40:16 UTC
Hi,

Is there could be a permission to "forgive fine on return" (circulation.pl) and "Forgive overdue charges" (returns.pl)?

or a systeme preference?

This would avoid making mistakes.

Regards,

Marjorie

Hi Marjorie, I think the 'waive fines' permission could work there. If you don't want to use the feature at all, we could also try helping you to hide it with css or jquery.

It has been brought to my attention that if a staff member does not have fines permissions- they will not see the Forgive Fines on Return.  If neither Fines permissions are check marked, they will not see the Forgive Fines on Return from the circulation.pl.

If the staff member has "Remaining permissions for managing fines and fees" check marked, they also will not see the Forgive fines on return from circulation.pl.

If they have "Write off Fines/Fees" - Forgive Fines on Return will display at circulation.pl.


So I believe this bug has been resolved.
