Pay or waive fine for returned item

 Note: If a patron would like a receipt for their bill payment transaction it must be printed as part of the bill payment process. Once the transaction is complete a receipt cannot be retrospectively generated.

To the right of the Enter barcode box, a warning indicates the item is overdue and provides the Pay/Waive Bill button.

The item appears as the first entry on the Latest Check Ins list.

1. Click Pay/Waive Bill.
2. On the Resolve Bills window, choose an option:

   • Action list: Select Pay, Waive, or Cancel bill.
   • Amount to Pay: Enter the amount to be paid (full amount owed or part of the total).
   • Amount Tendered: Enter the amount received from the patron.
   • Payment Method: Select the form of payment.
   • Receipt to: Select Select the delivery method for the receipt.

   Notes on emailing a receipt:

   • Receipts use the email address provided in the patron's record.
   • If there is no email address in the patron record, the Email field will be empty. In order to send the patron an email receipt, you must add their email address to their patron record and then resend the receipt.
   • If the patron wants the email to be sent to a different email address, you can edit the email address on the Email Preview window.
   • Changing the email address on the Email Preview window does not change the email address in the patron record.
3. Click Resolve.
4. The system calculates change and displays the amount as Change Due. Return any change due to the patron.
5. Click Close.
   • Partial payment/Waiver: If less than the amount due is paid or waived, the balance remains in the list of outstanding bills shown in the Account view of the patron's record.
   • Account History: Bills paid or waived in full move to the Account History section in the Bills tab of the patron record, appearing as the first items on the list of resolved bills.
