                    return claims

           Product: Koha
           Version: master
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal

        Depends on: 14697

Here's the existing behavior:
1- checkout item with date due in the past
2- run fines cron to create accruing fine
3- mark item claimed without charging lost fee
4- fines does not change at all when item is marked claimed
5- check item in
6- fine goes from accruing to final as if the claim had never happened

If we assume some time passes between step 3 and step 5, that could be a
significant difference in the final fine total. Should patrons be charged
overdue fines for the period between when an item is Claimed Returned and when
it is actually checked in? Should that be configurable per library? Should it
in some way depend on the claim resolution status?

If we *do* charge the lost fee when an item is marked claimed, then we close
the fine at the point of claim and it is not changed if the item is later
checked in.
