Tracking fine payments
Except in the case of lost copy fines, Circulation Desk does not keep a history of a
fine after it has been paid in full or deleted. Information about a lost copy fine is
retained in the event that the copy returns. To keep a history of a patron's paid
fines, you'll need to track fines some other way.
Whenever you create, edit, or apply payment to a fine or the fine balance,
Circulation Desk lets you print a receipt with the patron's fine, payment, and
balance to your workstation's default printer. Each 8.5" x 11" page contains two
copies of the receipt, one for the patron and one for your records. The following
shows a patron's receipt after applying payment to a fine balance (see page 157):
