--- Comment #1 from Owen Leonard <oleonard at myacpl.org> ---
It looks like Koha is displaying the total amount owed by the patron regardless
of whether that amount is from a rental charge listed in the checkouts table or
a charge for something else (like a lost item).

The total for this column should add up only rental charges listed in that
table if it is to be correct.

However, it should be noted that the rental charges listed in the table of
checkouts are not shown based on charges which are actually on the patron's
account (in the accountlines table), the charges are listed according to the
current policy.

If I checked out a DVD last week when there was no rental charge, and then
check out a DVD today after a $3.00 rental fee was added the screen will show a
$3.00 charge for both of those items even though accountlines will only have a
line for the $3.00 I actually incurred after the rental fee policy change.

We can't fix the total until we fix the way rental fees are calculated by the
script.

This leads me to wonder... Is there a good reason to be displaying the rental
fee at all on this page? Do libraries who charge rental fees have policies
which require them to be paid on a higher priority basis than other fines? If
not, showing the total of all fines and charges on this screen (as we do)
should be enough.
