I'm pretty sure the "fines" column in the OPAC only shows overdue fines. What you're describing sounds like a rental charge. Perhaps this bug should be be "Show a rental charges column in the OPAC summary table."

Perhaps this bug should > be be "Show a rental charges column in the OPAC summary table." Maybe. Or maybe just change the column to something a bit clearer like 'Overdue fines'. I think my issue was maybe that I didn't know what that value was and since there were fees attached to the item, I thought it should've said yes. Created attachment 49658 [details]
Problem still valid
Just having another look at this: even when my issue is overdue, fines says 'No'.
This is actually a pretty big problem for libraries who charge rentals, and it completely is the rentals that are causing this - the Koha default data comes with a $5 rental fee on item type book. It would be good to display both overdue fines and rental fees on the circulation page. Created attachment 58610 [details] [review] Bug 15738: Show rental fees on OPAC summary page This patch adds a few lines that check for a rental fee on an item. If yes, it will show in brackets as a rental fee on the OPAC summary page. To test: 1) Have a borrower with an overdue item accruing fines, a lost item and an item with a rental fee. Confirm the Fines column on the OPAC summary page now shows you what you may expect to see for each item. Sponsored-by: Catalyst IT If there is a rental fee and an overdue fine on the item the line will read: Yes (Item overdue or lost) Maybe, instead of showing yes or no, would it make more sense to show the amount? Then the user can check the fine display for details. Or we could keep the general (yes/no), but have it say as soon as there is any kind of fee/fine on the item? With the patch I can see both the rental charges and the fines next to the item, in the column. But we see this in the checkout area Cannot check out! Fees & Charges: Patron has outstanding fees & charges of 35.00 --- Fines tab: Rental fee : 5$ sub total: While there is 40$ in the Fines tab. It seems the 5$ for rental is not considered / Does it mean that it is supposed to be already paid for ?
