Collecting Money at Checkin

If your library set the Fines/Bills: Authorization required to collect circulation option to "YES," you must be assigned permission 95 (Collect fines) to choose the Collect Money button. If your library set the Fines/Bills: Library itself collects fines circulation option to "NO," you cannot collect fines from the Check In tab.

In addition to collecting money within a patron record's Fines tab, the system enables you to collect money when you check in items. To collect money during checkin:

  1. Use the Circulation Desk function to check in items.
  2. As you check in items, select the item(s) for which you want to collect money. You can collect or reduce the selected charges in the same way as you would in a patron record's Fines tab (for more information, see Collecting Money for Fines).

You can also waive fines during checkin or configure the system to do so automatically. For more information, see Waiving Fines at Checkin.
