Description Kelly McElligott 2019-12-02 18:44:36 UTC
In 19.05, when an accruing fine is paid prior to checking in the item, the fine will get re-accessed when the item is returned. 

This is caused by bug 22521 looking at the diff to this bug 


Lines 520-565 sub UpdateFine {


it looks like we have changed the way Koha is checking for these fines and therefore reassessing a fine as there isn't one there anymore, as it has been paid.
Comment 1 Nick Clemens 2019-12-02 19:22:36 UTC
Specifically:

538        "SELECT * FROM accountlines
539        WHERE borrowernumber=? AND
540        (( accounttype IN ('F','M') AND amountoutstanding<>0 ) OR
541           accounttype = 'FU' )"
542    );

To:
523    my $overdues = Koha::Account::Lines->search(
524        {
525 	            borrowernumber    => $borrowernumber,
526 	            accounttype       => [ 'OVERDUE', 'M' ],
527 	            amountoutstanding => { '<>' => 0 }
528        }

In the first it is a closed fine more than 0 OR an accruing fine

After the patch it must be greater than 0, so if someone pays off an accruing fine  it will not be found.

Could we possibly just search by issue_id?

It's a little more complicated than that :(.  We need to walk through all fines on the users account so we may honour `MaxFine`.
Comment 3 Martin Renvoize 2019-12-04 07:58:55 UTC
The fix does appear to be trivial, but I think I'm going to submit a series of tests first to ensure I'm understanding the problem fully, bare with me whilst I write those.

Bug 24146: Add test cases

This patch adds test cases for both checking amountoutstanding values
are handled correctly and also that the paid down accruing fines do not
add additional fines on increment.

Test plan:
Read the changeset and asses whether the changes/additional tests are
correct as per the expected behaviour.

Do we need to take renewals into account? We already have the issue id, do we need the renewal iteration as well to ensure we target the correct paid fine?

Bug 24146: Increment existing fine

We should increment an existing fine even if it has been fully paid off
whilst it is still incrementing and not create a new fine.
Comment 8 Martin Renvoize 2019-12-05 10:19:33 UTC
Right, I've commented the tests a bit further and I think it shows we're testing the renewal case.

The second patch fixes the error reported here, but the enhanced tests still do not fully pass... but I'm not entirely sure the tests are correct.

The question is how should MaxFine act in the case of partially paid fines.

Setting to NSO to get some more eyes.

Bug 24146: Corrections to UpdateFine logic concerning maxFine

The `maxFine` system preference actually refers to the amount of
outsanding debt (in fines) a patron may have at a given time. This patch
corrects the functionality of UpdateFine such that it properly respects
that counter given the payment of accruing fines scenario.

If this could be backported to 19.05, we'd appreciate it.

Comment 27 Lucas Gass 2020-02-13 17:51:52 UTC
i cannot make this patchset both work and pass tests in 19.05.x, no backport
Comment 28 Lucas Gass 2020-02-13 18:04:41 UTC
if this needs to be in 19.05.x please rebase so it will pass unit tests
