Meeting Notes

Future Fees/Fines: Add option to get Actual Cost for lost item from order

  • Not scheduled for the next release cycles
  • Concerns:
    • Erin Nettifee: helpful to visualise this
    • Chat Erin Weller: Has there been discussion about setting the price at a minimum amount that each library can select instead of order price? - If the cost goes over minimum amount (as a set cost) then the actual cost should be charged

    • Chat Thomas Trutt: that is my thought.. Its what our past LMS worked and it was nice.

    • It should be an optional feature
    • Chat Amber Miles: At TAMU we do bill actual cost but automatically billing is not something we do currently.

    • Chat Amber Miles: Nor have we ever done I think.

    • Chat Rebecca Pernell: Future -- FOLIO finds current replacement costs from vendors!

    • Chat Laszlo Jakusovszky: I know Stanford's Science/Eng Libraries are interested in this due to the high price of their texts, esp. as after they go out of print.

    • Chat Andy Horbal: for the same reason.

  • Workflow:

    • Feedback on the Workflow:
      • If the default price is AMOUNT it should be charged automatically
      • if under AMOUNT charge AMOUNT if over than bring it to staff attention and/or charge SET AMOUNT automatically
      • if over the maximum amount charge the maximum amount
        • Add setting that if order cost if over X, don't bill it automatically
        • if you have an actual replacement cost – and the amount is charged when is the notice send?
        • Brooks: If you charge a processing fee now, it sends immediately.
        • And my understanding of the planned work was that it would send the actual cost fine action notice once it was processed

      • Staff workflows would sometimes get delayed so an automatical process has to keep this in mind
      • Brooks in Chat: I would definitely consider doing a final warning type notice in that case - Similar to how Chicago is currently doing theirs

    • Next steps: get Kimie Kester involved



Patron notices (julie.bickle)

  • set cost and lost item processing fee are now charged when processed
  • The Lost item processing fee will not be influenced by UXPROD-2245
    • it is triggered by the item status
  • the triggering event for UXPROD-2245 (see also: https://folio-org.atlassian.net/browse/UIU-1863) - Bill actual cost in the fee/fine screen
  • by confirming this action a notice to the patron
  • Cheryl: can we bill 0 and should we?
  • A notify patron option would be preferable
