Description Barton Chittenden 2015-09-14 20:38:16 UTC
The Totals column showing fine totals of checked out items does not display manually invoiced items -- this causes confusion when librarians compare the total on the circulation page with the total on the fines page -- could we add a note on the circulation page which says 'Manual invoices not included'?.

Why not include them?

> Why not include them?

Yes, I suppose that would work too :-)
Comment 3 Nick Clemens (kidclamp) 2021-02-01 14:29:47 UTC
The charges on this page are those relating to the checkouts - a manual fine for an item is not tied to the checkout, so I don't think it makes sense to include them
Comment 4 Andrew Fuerste-Henry 2021-02-01 14:31:02 UTC
I'd argue "fine" is consistently understood across Koha to mean "overdue fine" specifically. I' am not in favor of making the "fine" column here also include other fees. Especially since this is in the checkouts table and those other fees would not be inherently linked to the checkout of this item.
Comment 5 Katrin Fischer 2021-03-04 09:40:09 UTC
I agree with Nick and Andrew here, I think it would be confusing in another way if we changed that behaviour. I am closing as WONTFIX - please reopen if you disagree.
