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.

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. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

We've had it scheduled for a couple of years to run on the 1st of every month, writing off fines that are 84 months (7 years) or more years old. We had a couple of hick-ups getting it rolling, but it's been running smoothly for at least a year now. /misc/cronjobs/writeoff_debts.pl I had ByWater clear the first batch of old accounts before we scheduled the cron to run regularly due to the very large number of old bills we had in the system, but haven't needed to go back to them for data services since then. The cronjob handles it for us. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. You are the assignee for the bug.

They have to clear the writeoffs with the board of administrators every year so it cannot be an automated cron job. For now they'll open a ticket every year to ask us to run the script, but it would be great if they were independent in doing this. They would need something like a report on what WOULD be written off (number of transactions + amount), so an option of a dry run with report. Then an actual run. They haven't mentioned if they need to exclude certain types of transactions, but I assume a staff interface tool would include all the possible options from the existing script. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

I'm going to have to make that request regularly when we go to clean up patron data or when juveniles age up to 18. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
