Check-Out Charge Options Dialog Box (SelfCheck Unit)

To open this dialog box:
In Polaris Administration, select Parameters, SelfCheck Unit, Check-out: Charge options.

Use this dialog box to determine how the SIP self-check unit handles check-out and renewal transactions for chargeable items.

Note:
The system uses the SIP settings for the workstation’s branch, but uses the chargeable settings for the item’s assigned branch. For more information about setting up charges for checkout and renewal, see Charging for Checkout and Renewal.

• Allow check-out if item is chargeable - Select to allow check-outs of chargeable materials from SIP self-check units.

• Allow renewal if item is chargeable - This option is available if you selected Allow check-out if item is chargeable. Select this option to allow renewals of chargeable materials.

• Auto-charge for renew all - This option is available if you selected Allow renewal if item is chargeable. Select this option to automatically place any charges on the patron account when the patron renews all items.

Note:
If the material type is blocked from check-out at SIP self-check units, that setting takes precedence over any chargeable policies and the transaction is stopped.
