Description Kyle M Hall (khall) 2015-01-16 14:10:30 UTC
Right now, Koha only charges fines at the end of a given charge period. For example, let us assume a circulation rule has a charge period of one week ( 7 days ) and a fine of $5. This means that an item can be overdue for 6 days without accruing a fine. Koha should allow circulation rules to be configured to place the charge at the start of the end of the charge period so the library can decide when the fine should accrue.

Comment 6 Katrin Fischer 2015-01-16 14:34:23 UTC
Hi Kyle,

this sounds very interesting - how is the grace period treated?

Currently we have something like, if the grace period is < the charging interval, it won't have any effect, but only if it's > (iirc).

We have libraries that would like something like:
due date
2 days grace period 
1st fine 
7 days interval
2nd fine
7 days interval
3rd fine
Comment 7 Kyle M Hall (khall) 2015-01-16 14:41:14 UTC
Grace period behavior remains unchanged, but this patch should allow you to get the behavior you are looking for.

Hi Aleisha,
you have to make sure your environment variables are set correctly or that you are using the koha shell (depending on how your Koha is set up) - I have checked the updatedatabase, it looks ok. Could you try again?

Did you run the unit tests with a fresh install of Koha with the default data?

Kyle
Comment 16 Kyle M Hall (khall) 2015-07-06 16:35:48 UTC
To follow up on that question, on my test server those unit tests often fail unless I'm using a fresh install with all the default data.

Bug 13590 - Add ability to charge fines at start of charge period

Right now, Koha only charges fines at the end of a given charge period.
For example, let us assume a circulation rule has a charge period of one
week ( 7 days ) and a fine of $5. This means that an item can be overdue
for 6 days without accruing a fine. Koha should allow circulation rules
to be configured to place the charge at the start of the end of the
charge period so the library can decide when the fine should accrue.

Test Plan:
1) Apply this patch
2) Run updatedatabase.pl
3) prove t/db_dependent/Circulation_Issuingrule.t
4) prove t/db_dependent/Circulation.t
5) prove t/db_dependent/Fines.t
6) Ensure you can still create/edit circulation rules
