13:43 Stompro Hello, we are trying to stop fines from being generated at check-in, we have changed all the config.rule_recurring_fine entries to have fine values of $0.00, but at check-in we are still seeing fines generated.  Any hints about where that is being cached.
13:44 jihpringle Stompro: the fines are are recorded in the individual circulations, updating the circ policies only changes it for future check outs
13:45 rhamby what jhpringle said, the rules are stored as a "this was the rule when it was checked out" thing in action.circulation rows
13:46 Stompro jihpringle, I'm updating the recurring fine rule, which is stored in the checkout.  I'm assuming that at check-in the recurring fine rule is looked up to process.
13:46 jihpringle my understanding is that the rules get looked at at check out and each circ gets stamped with the policy in place at check out
13:47 rhamby @Stompro are you dpdatin the recurring_fine_rule or the recurring_fine?
13:47 pinesol rhamby: Zoia knows how to make fusilli.
13:47 rhamby updating even
13:48 rhamby @jihpringle it doesn't look at the rule itself, action.circulation stores the rule and the value, the rule is for historical inforomation but the value is what is actually used
13:48 pinesol rhamby: Have you run autogen.sh?
13:48 Stompro joined #evergreen
13:48 Stompro Sorry, was disconnected for a second.
13:49 rhamby so, if you want to chagne the recurring fine you have to change recurring_fine not recurring_fine_rule
13:49 rhamby though it'll get confusing later if they're not kept in sync
13:50 Stompro rhamby, thank you so much, I totally missed that.
13:50 rhamby I think I've spent too much time in slack lately, I'm putting @ in front of names by habit now ....
13:52 jihpringle Stompro:if you're voiding existing fines as well we've found it works best to leave any with partial payments for library staff to handle manually
13:53 Stompro jihpringle, I'm sorry I didn't understand what you were saying when you said the same thing.
13:53 jihpringle no worries :)
13:54 Stompro jihpringle, I think we are just looking to stop new fines from being generated at checkin.  I thought that when we stopped running the fine generator that would take care of it, but just found out.
13:54 Stompro That evergreen also generates at check-in.
13:58 Dyrcona Amnesty mode also works.
14:00 rhamby or just go back and give everyone a clean slate by forgiving all fines ever :)  (I did that for a library recently)
14:00 gmcharlt noting that some enhancements have been pushed to the curbside branch: https://bugs.launchpad.net/eve​rgreen/+bug/1879983/comments/7
14:00 pinesol Launchpad bug 1879983 in Evergreen "Curbside Pickup" [Wishlist,Confirmed]

14:47 mmorgan jihpringle: Stompro: Just reading the backscroll. jihpringle, if your issues with voiding are resulting in unwanted negative balances, you may want to set the library setting "Prohibit negative balance on bills for overdue materials" to true. Fines will then be reversed with an adjustment payment rather than being voided.
14:53 mmorgan Another question about fines. If a closed date is entered for today after the fine generator runs, and it is not processed as an emergency closing, will those fines stick? Or will Evergreen try and void/adjust them when items are checked in at a later date?
14:57 rhamby mmorgan: if that fine is on there from when the generator runs it will not try to remove it later based on retroactive logic
14:58 mmorgan rhamby: Ok, thank you!
14:58 mmorgan rhamby++
14:59 rhamby there ar a few things that will play with fines that aren't the fine genjerator based on yaous like the void fines when item is charged for lost but that's not the fines generator and that I can think of those are all yaous controlled

Make sure your nickname is registered and that you are identified to freenode services: https://freenode.net/kb/answer/registration
15:14 mmorgan rhamby: or anyone: Another wrinkle. Say there is a grace period of three days on a circulation. When the fine generator runs on the fourth day, I assume it will consult the closed days, and if the previous three days are marked closed, it will not assess fines for those?
15:15 rhamby mmorgan: it should not, if it does then I would consider that a bug
15:16 mmorgan Ok, thanks.
