[Koha-devel] RFC 3.2 - fine thresholds and automatic forgiving of fines

[Galen Charlton]

A LibLime customer would like the ability to periodically forgive
patron fines if the patron's balance is less than a threshold set by
the library. To meet this requirement, we propose to implement a batch
job or tool.

The job would take the following parameters:

   1. branches, patron categories, and item types, and fine account
types to identify fines to forgive
   2. an amount establishing the maximum threshold to forgive

For each patron, if the total balances of the fees of the specified
type are below the threshold, the job would forgive all of those
fines.

The job would have a dry-run mode to allow the administrator to check
the results of running it before committing to the fine forgiveness.

For more information on this proposal, please consult the Koha wiki at

Thanks in advance for comments.

Regards,

Galen
