Description Vinod 2023-02-08 03:42:14 UTC
Hello
I noticed fine calculation issue in Koha version 22.05 onward and same has been reported byany in 22.11 also.

Test plan
1. Configure circulation and fine rules
2. Issue book with backdate
3. Run the cronjob fines.pl
4. Check fine is not calculated
5. Under circulation and fine rules remove default value 0.00 from "overdue fines caps (amount) and give some value to like 100
6. Now run the cronjob fines.pl
7. Check the fine is calculated

Now the issue is in earlier versions by default value was nothing under "overdue fines cap (amount)" option so the default value 0.00 in above versions asume fine cap is zero so system does not calculate though everything is configured well.

Thanking you

I just confirmed that in 20.11 overdue fines cap could be emptied. It's no longer possible and the automatically added 0 is a problem.
