Description Enica Davis 2024-08-14 12:41:19 UTC
It would be nice if there's an ability in Koha to waive fines/fees in a batch.  This is part of a regular workflow for libraries, especially those who regularly purge patron accounts.

+1
Comment 2 Rebecca Coert 2025-02-11 18:04:59 UTC
If it existed, I would definitely use this function! This would make our semi-annual patron cleanup faster and more efficient.
Comment 3 karie.straube 2025-07-03 15:27:32 UTC
My consortium also needs this functionality!
Comment 4 Brandon 2025-08-26 15:44:30 UTC
+1 We would also use this feature multiple times a year.
Comment 5 Mollie Myers 2025-10-17 21:39:44 UTC
If this existed I would LOVE to have this function as I've finally gotten clearance to clear out old accounts with or without charges past a certain date. We would use this feature once a year, I believe, but having the ability to do it ourselves vs. sending in a ticket to ByWater every year would be preferred. Thank you!

We would also use this if available. We recently change dour policy to waive fines/fees that are older than 5 years, and have over 2,500 accounts that are eligible for fines/fees to be waived but we have to review them individually. Also, we're going to start deleting accounts that have been expired for more than 5 years, so this functionality would also be helpful for that process.
