This question is for libraries who charge rental fees based on item
type. Are there any of you out there?

There is a bug with the way those rental charges are displayed and totaled:

http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=10007

In short, the listing of individual rental charges on the circulation
page is potentially inaccurate, and the total of all rental charges
shown is potentially inaccurate. Before we take any action to fix the
problem I would like to know if it is really necessary to display
rental charges on the checkout screen? If a patron has existing fines
or charges a message is shown at the top of the screen with the total.

Those of use you charge rental fees, is it important to show rental
fees on the checkout screen, or is it sufficient to see a total amount
owed? Clicking through to the Fines page shows you accurate details of
any outstanding fees or charges.

Please help me out with your opinion!
