Description George Williams (NEKLS) 2021-02-05 17:24:53 UTC
The following action buttons on boraccount.pl should allow staff the ability to add notes:

Pay
Void
Issue refund
Issue payout
Apply discount

And any other action buttons I'm not thinking of.  Essentially, if a staff member can modify an accountline from boraccount.pl, there should be a way for them to make a note about that modification.  The ability to add notes exists on pay.pl, maninvoice.pl, and mancredit.pl, so it should be available on boraccount.pl.

Agreed, that would be very helpful.

+1. This would be very useful.

Bug 23674 asks for the ability to click on any accountlines entry and edit its note. Am I correct that what you're suggesting is to add an editable notes field into the interface as part of each of these processes?

Yes.  pay.pl, maninvoice.pl, and mancredit.pl allow staff to add a note field when they create or modify accountlines but none of the buttons on boraccount.pl that have been added in the last several upgrades offer this same ability.

We have libraries that ask staff to put their initials in the note field when they write off fees or accept payments.  Staff can't do that from boraccount.pl which makes it harder for those libraries to track problems/issues with payments, writeoffs or other adjustments to accountlines.

Marking this as a duplicate of bug 24597 to consolidate. This has been wished for several times!
