Description Kyle M Hall 2015-03-16 14:15:21 UTC
Due to the way AddReturn and UpdateFine work, if you pass in a return date to AddReturn, and that item has a calculated fine of 0, Koha will insert the 0 amount fine into accountlines. 

This is good behavior when we want to update an existing fine, but bad behavior if there was no fine to begin with!

Comment 6 Kyle M Hall 2015-03-19 13:24:51 UTC
I should note you can also test this by backdating a return to an hour before the current time. This will trigger the behavior and is more easily testable in a sandbox!

[PASSED QA] Bug 13841 - Returns via backdating or SIP2 can create new fines with an amount outstanding of 0

Due to the way AddReturn and UpdateFine work, if you pass in a return
date to AddReturn, and that item has a calculated fine of 0, Koha will
insert the 0 amount fine into accountlines.

This is good behavior when we want to update an existing fine, but bad
behavior if there was no fine to begin with!

Test Plan:
1) Apply the unit test patch
2) prove t/db_dependent/Circulation.t
3) Note the test fails
4) Apply this patch
5) prove t/db_dependent/Circulation.t
6) Note the test passes

Confirmed the problem in the staff interface and that the patch
fixes it. Also tested that fines still get calculated.
