Currently charges are only being displayed on the patron checkout page if they are being used as a restriction. If libraries choose to not restrict patrons because of unpaid fines then the only way they can see the fines is by checking the accounting page. It would be ideal if all unpaid fees could be displayed on the checkout page.
The total of fines already displays in the fines tab directly next to the checkouts on the circulation page. Maybe it could be made more visible instead?
Fines related to rentals are not displayed for patrons, unless libraries choose to restrict patrons at the max fine rate. For example, we have a $10 limit for fines and our movies are $1-2 each. If a patron checks out $15 worth of rentals, we don't want them to have to stop and pay when they hit $10, so we are not restricting that, but what we found out is that by doing that, they don't ever see any rental related fees show up at all on the self check and staff weren't even seeing it on the checkout screen. (Some JavaScript has added it as a separate fee, but not to the total fines.) We would very much like to see this fixed.
Trying to make sure we have all information needed here: * Is this about the patron account in staff interface, the patron account in OPAC or the self checkout display (web based/SIP2 based?) For rentals and staff there is also an old bug here: bug 14803

Patch is for intranet only and only shows viewed patron's total charges (no possible guarantees accounted for).

Hi Lari, could you please include a test plan? Thank you!
Just wondering if we could get some movement on this ticket, again. Thanks!
