Description Marjorie Barry-Vila 2016-04-14 15:49:06 UTC
Hi,

Noissuecharge takes into account the amounts of fines "greater than" to what is written in the preference system.

Example:

noissuecharge filled with 5

Patron has $ 5 in fines, it will not be blocked to check-out.

We have to write 4.99 to block patron with 5 $ in fines.


Noissuecharge should take account of the amount "greater than or equal to"

Regards,

Marjorie

Hi Marjorie, 

I had a look at this when filing bug 32450 today and you are right, the check > instead of >=. 

It maybe depends on how you think about it:

* Fines up to x are ok/non-blocking (current behavior)
* From this amount on we want to restrict 

I think both make sense depending on context, but the current system preference description matches the first use case:
 	
Prevent patrons from checking out items if they have more than __ EUR in fines. 

So I am not persuaded this is a bug, especially since changing the behavior now  would cause unnecessary disruption.

Closing WONTFIX. Please reopen if you disagree.
