Purpose

A Fee/fine owner in FOLIO is the agent(s) or office(s) that manages fines for FOLIO transactions. Fee/fine owners collect fees/fines for FOLIO service points.

...

There is no search functionality built into this section of FOLIO.

Functional workflows

Describe available tasks that can be conducted in the app. To document those tasks, create a new page and link it to this page.
Describe action-based permissions that are connected to these functional workflows, if any.

To Modify a Fee/fine Owner

...

  1. From Settings → Users, open the list of Fee/fine Owners.
  2. Click on the Trash icon under Actions for the Fee/fine Owner you wish to delete.
  3. Click Delete to confirm deletion.

Reporting

...

There are no in-app reports in this section of FOLIO.

There is no personally identifying information in this area of FOLIO, unless a library chooses to include it. 

Integrations

Describe any APIs that interact with the app. Provide links to the API / module information in Github.
Describe integrations that individual libraries may wish to develop for this app / area of FOLIO, if relevant.
If existing integrations have been developed by adopting libraries, provide links to the integration in Github or wherever the information can be found.

Describe and include any permanent links such as a link structure to records, searches, etc

Most libraries will want to use this setting as part of integrations with reporting and external payment systems (like the University Bursar, or PCI credit card payment sites.) The project intends to produce a global export file of fine information, but individual institutions would need to customize that export themselves, for their own requirements.


Considerations for Implementation

...

  • There is no requirement that Fee/fine owners be named in certain ways. However, libraries should consider opportunities to consolidate fee/fine processing, if appropriate to their institution.
  • Libraries may also find it helpful to stick to the same conceptual idea when creating these - e.g., they are all service points, or all library departments - rather than mixing models.
  • If a library is intending to be able to charge fees and fines, Fee/fine owners must be implemented first.
  • Service points do not need to be implemented beforehand - however, fee/fine owners will not actually accrue any fines until service points are implemented and then associated to the fee/fine owners
