Hold fees can now be configured through the circulation rules matrix, providing much more granular control over hold charges based on patron category, item type, and library combinations.
Previously, hold fees (reservefee) could only be set at the patron category level in the patron category administration. This enhancement integrates hold fees into the main circulation rules system, where they follow the standard rule hierarchy with automatic fallback handling.
**Key changes:**
- Hold fees can now be set for specific combinations of patron category, item type, and library
- The deprecated `reservefee` field has been removed from patron categories
- Hold fee configuration appears as a new column in the circulation rules matrix
- Hold fees follow the same rule precedence as other circulation rules (most specific rule wins, with fallback to broader rules)
**For administrators:**
After upgrading, you may want to review your circulation rules and update hold fees where appropriate. Any existing hold fees previously set at the patron category level will have been migrated to the circulation rules.
