Patron Payment

The Patron Payment form allows you to view or modify the fines and payments associated with a library item currently or previously checked out to a library patron. To access this form, click the Fines and Payments button on the Fines panel of the Patron Record form.

The upper portion of the Patron Payment form displays a summary of the fines and payments already applied to the patron-item relationship. The Payment Event History provides details on fines, payments, or adjustments already applied.

To add a new fine or payment, or to make an adjustment, select the appropriate adjustment type in the New Payment Event section, enter the dollar amount (always positive) in the Amount field, and then add any comments, up to 50 characters, in the Comments field. Some adjustment types require the entry of a comment. When you have finished entering the details for this payment, fine, or adjustment, click the Add button.

When you have finished management the fines, payments, and adjustments, click the Close button to return to the previous form.
