            Bug ID: 24475
           Summary: Reword FinesMode system preference

           Product: Koha

The text for FinesMode reads:

(Don't Calculate / Calculate and Charge / Calculate but only for mailing to the
admin)
 fines (when misc/cronjobs/fines.pl is being run).
NOTE: Fines can also be charged by the CalculateFinesOnReturn system
preference.
NOTE: This system preference requires the misc/cronjobs/fines.pl cronjob. Ask
your system administrator to schedule it.


This gives the impression that CalculateFinesOnReturn is an alternative to
FinesMode -- that one could set FinesMode to "Don't calculate" and turn on
CalculateFinesOnReturn in order to only calculate fines when an item is checked
in.

However, CalculateFinesOnReturn only works when FinesMode is set to "Calculate
and charge." CalculateFinesOnReturn is an alternative to the fines cron, not to
FinesMode.

I'll think on better wording here and get back to this.
