Description Chris Cormack 2010-05-21 01:11:19 UTC


---- Reported by jwagner@ptfs.com 2009-08-03 12:37:43 ----

Sponsored by East Brunswick Public Library, East Brunswick, NJ, USA.

Add an option to send notices based on amount owed.  Creates two sysprefs, EnableOwedNotification to turn on the feature, and OwedNotificationValue to set the threshold amount owed to trigger a billing notice.  Requires a new notice named BILLING.  Nightly cron job script sends billing notices based on the threshold value (with an option to print notices to HTML file for patrons without email addresses, similar to option in http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=3482 enhancement.

A separate script looks for billing notices with no payment made after the date sent (after a specified elapsed time).  It charges a debt collect fee to the patron account and formats output for Unique Management Inc. collection agency.  The script also looks for any payments made after the patron was sent to debt collect, and outputs an update for the agency.  The output file is emailed to addresses specified in the command line parameters.

(Debt collect scripts for other agencies could be written, also basing off the BILLING notice and a specified elapsed time.)

A patch needs to be submitted based on master for this - and either a link
right to the patch or an attached patch is necessary.

The Harley integration project has been stalled for some time.
