When fines are configured, in addition to repaying them on behalf of a borrower you are likely to face situations where you need to make adjustments and waive them depending on the circumstances. To make any corrections to fines, you can use the controls found on the Statement tab in Circulate. A description of each correction is below.

 

Deposit = Making a Deposit adds a positive Sum to the account, crediting them with the amount. For example, should a user have a balance of £0.00 and a deposit of £5.00 is made, their new balance would be £5.00

 

Charges = Entering a Charge subtracts an amount by debiting it from their current balance. For instance, should you have a balance of £0.00 and a charge of £0.75 is made, the new balance would be -£0.75

 

Waive = Using the Waive control counteracts a transaction. When waiving a fine for example, the system credits the account with the total value of that fine. Assuming their balance was -£1.50 which equates to the amount of the fine then the borrower would have £1.50 credited to their account, making their new balance £0.00

 

Repayments = Repaying a fine credits the account with the specific amount. For example, should a borrower have a balance of -£1.00 and you make a repayment of £0.50, the new balance will be -£0.50
