<p><a name="kanchor3891"></a><a name="IX_setup_procedure"></a>To set up Borrow by Mail, you first designate processing centers at the system level. Other Borrow by Mail settings are available at the library, system, or branch level. </p>
<p>To set up Borrow by Mail circulation in Polaris Administration:</p>
<ol>
<li value="1">In the Administration Explorer tree view, open the <b>Parameters</b>&#160;folder for the system, and click the <b>Request</b> tab in the details view.</li>
</ol>
<ol data-mc-continue="true">
<li value="2">Double-click <b>Borrow by mail</b>. The Borrow by Mail dialog box - Processing Centers tabbed page appears. (This page appears only when the dialog box is opened at the system level.)</li>
</ol>
<ol data-mc-continue="true">
<li value="3">Select all the organizations that might serve as processing centers for the branches that will enable <b>Borrow by Mail</b>.</li>
</ol>
<p class="indent2">To enable Borrow by Mail features for any individual organization, at least one organization must be designated as a processing center on this tabbed page.</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>If you have one central processing center for the whole system, designate only one processing center. </li>
<li>If various processing centers will serve various branches, or if branches will serve as their own processing centers, select all the possible processing centers.</li>
</ul>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:<br /></b>Processing centers may be actual branches or virtual organizations set up for this specific purpose.

<ol start="4">
<li value="4">If you will set up all Borrow by Mail options at the system level (that is, all organizations will participate in Borrow by Mail and use the same settings), go directly to the next step. Otherwise, click <b>OK</b>&#160;to close the dialog box at this point, and re-open it for each organization that will use Borrow by Mail circulation. </li>
<li value="5">On the Options tabbed page, select <b>Enable Borrow by Mail</b>&#160;and select a processing center for this organization.</li>
</ol>
<p class="NoteShade"><a name="kanchor3892"></a><a name="IX_telephone_notification"></a><b>Note:<br /></b>Telephone notices include Borrow by Mail messages if Borrow by Mail is enabled at the system level. If you use both telephone notification and Borrow by Mail, enable Borrow by Mail at the system level, then disable it for any branch that is not using Borrow by Mail.</p>
<p class="indent2">The available options depend on your settings on the system-level Processing Centers tabbed page.</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:<br /></b>An item that fills a Borrow by Mail request created in the staff client is shipped to the processing center designated for the log-in branch of the workstation that created the hold request.

<li value="7">(Optional) Select <b>Staff display note</b>&#160;and edit the text of the note if you wish (maximum 250 characters). If individual branches process their own Borrow by Mail items along with regular circulations, you should check this option to alert staff members to Borrow by Mail items.

</ul>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:<br /></b>Requests placed from the PAC use the settings of the processing center for the patrons registered branch, while requests placed from the staff client use the settings of the processing center for the workstations branch.

<ul type="disc">
<li>Clear the item material types that should not be eligible to fill Borrow by Mail requests. For PAC requests, the system uses the setting for the patrons registered library.

<h1><a name="XREF_60611_Setting"></a>Setting Up Borrow by Mail Circulation</h1>
<p><a name="kanchor5923"></a><a name="IX_setup_overview_3"></a>With Polaris Borrow by Mail options, staff members and patrons can request library materials and have the requested materials delivered by mail. Libraries can restrict Borrow by Mail options by patron code, establish a fee for the service, and allow exceptions to the fee for some patrons, such as homebound patrons. </p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:<br /></b>Polaris Borrow by Mail is available by license. There is no additional cost, but Borrow by Mail features are available only if the license is activated.</p>
<p>Within a library system or consortium, one or more branches can be designated as Borrow by Mail processing centers in Polaris Administration. Processing centers may be actual branches or virtual organizations set up for this specific purpose. When a Borrow by Mail request is placed, the pickup location defaults to a designated processing center, and the item is routed to this location by normal holds routing procedures. You can designate multiple processing centers. Or a branch may handle both normal and Borrow by Mail requests by establishing itself as a processing location. In this case, an optional message alerts staff to a Borrow by Mail request when the item is <a href="javascript:void(0)" class="MCTextPopup MCTextPopupHotSpot MCTextPopup_Open MCTextPopupHotSpot_ MCTextPopupHotSpot_Popup #text #textPopup">trapped<span class="MCTextPopupBody popupBody"><span class="MCTextPopupArrow"> </span>An item is said to be trapped for a hold when an item that fills a request is scanned at circulation and the system links the item to a specific request, either automatically or by displaying a message that prompts you for a decision.</span></a> at circulation. </p>
<p>At the processing center, Borrow by Mail items are placed in packets (one item per package), with an accompanying letter, mailing label, and return address label. They are checked out to the patron and then shipped. A tracking number can then be entered into the request workform. After check-out and until the item is returned, the request status is Out.</p>
<p>To set up Borrow by Mail, you first designate processing centers at the system level. Other Borrow by Mail settings are available at the library, system, or branch level. See <a href="Set_up_Borrow_by_Mail_circulation.htm">Define Borrow by Mail parameters.</a></p>
<p>For more information about using Borrow by Mail functions in the staff client, see <a href="#">Borrow By Mail Circulation</a>.</p>

Comprise SmartPAY, which handles authorization requirements, is responsible for PCI compliance. Polaris stores only the last four digits of the credit card number and the store order when payment is made through Comprise SmartPAY. For more information about the Comprise SmartPAY solution, see: http://www.comprisetechnologies.com/?page_id=32<br /></p>
<p>With Comprise SmartPAY MSP, the library can accept credit card and debit card payments made from the Polaris staff client, Leap, Polaris ExpressCheck, Polaris PowerPAC, and Mobile PAC. Comprise SmartPAY uses a single SmartServer linked with your librarys Polaris database, and the library will have a single Comprise account for all payment portals. Each staff client and ExpressCheck workstation that will accept credit card payments must have a Comprise SmartTerminal (the SmartPAY card reader device) connected to it.</p>
<p>Refunds must be performed at a staff client workstation with a SmartPAY SmartTerminal device attached. Both the branch that took the payment and the branch issuing the refund must use SmartPAY. The refund transaction is initiated in Polaris, for example from the Patron Account. The user is prompted to swipe the card in the SmartTerminal device. The same card that made the payment must be used. Each refund requires a card swipe. If the user is refunding 3 separate payments, the card must be swiped 3 times.</p>
<p>SmartPAY refunds are issued “per payment,” not per charge. For example:</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>If 3 charges were paid with a single payment transaction, the total of all 3 can be refunded with a single refund transaction/card swipe.</li>
<li>If 3 charges were paid with 3 separate payment transactions, then each must be refunded with separate refund transactions—3 card swipes.</li>
<li>Partial refunds are supported when refunding any payment. If 3 charges were paid with a single transaction, a partial refund of each payment is supported. </li>
<li>Automatic refunds related to lost item recovery are not supported. Polaris recommends that you disable any Refund option for lost-and-paid recovery when using SmartPAY. If automatic refund is enabled with SmartPay, the payment will be left as is in the patron account. No refund is created.</li>
<li>Refunds made from the SmartPAY web interface (not using the API from within the Polaris staff client) are not reflected in the patron account and cannot be duplicated in Polaris.</li>
</ul>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:<br /></b>Credit card payments for Polaris Fusion digital materials through SmartPAY are not available at this time.</p>

The Payflow Link gateway is a “redirect and postback” method of providing credit card payments from Polaris PAC applications. An advantage of this method is that much of the responsibility of PCI compliance falls to the gateway, which handles authorization requirements, rather than the library. No credit card information is stored in the Polaris database when payment is made through the Payflow Link hosted payments site. For more information about the Payflow Link gateway, see<br /><b><a href="https://merchant.paypal.com/cgi-bin/marketingweb?cmd=_render-content&amp;content_ID=merchant/payment_gateway">https://merchant.paypal.com/cgi-bin/marketingweb?cmd=_render-content&amp;content_ID=merchant/payment_gateway</a></b></p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Important:</b>
<br />PayPal supports TLS 1.0. If Payflow link is attempting to post back to the Polaris PAC site, it will fail if the server has been configured to allow TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2 connections (TLS 1.0 has been disabled)<br /></p>
<p>The logged-on PAC user selects the charges to pay and clicks <b>Pay Fines Now</b>. When the user clicks <b>Pay Fines Now</b>, the Payflow Link checkout page opens. After the credit card payment transaction has been set up and finalized, the user clicks a link to return to the Fines &amp; Fees page in the Polaris patron account. Payflow Link sends an e-mail receipt for the payment to the users e-mail address specified on the Hosted Checkout page. Similar processing is available for donations.</p>
<p>The Polaris e-commerce licenses for Polaris PowerPAC and Mobile PAC (if your system includes Mobile PAC) are required to use this feature. For fine payments, both the PAC connection branch and the patrons registered branch must support credit card processing. The patrons registered branch settings determine the specific credit card processor and parameters. For donations, the selected recipient branchs settings determine the specific credit card processor and parameters.</p>
<p>Payments from the staff client or from Polaris ExpressCheck are not supported.</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:<br /></b>When the payment processing gateway for the staff client log-in branch is Payflow Link, the Credit Card Payments Manager is not available from the <b>Utilities</b>&#160;menu. At branches where the Credit Card Payments Manager is accessible, store orders and store transactions do not appear for Payflow Link transactions.</p>

<h2><a name="TOC_Refunds"></a><a name="kanchor1039"></a><a name="IX_e_commerce_Payflow_Link"></a><a name="XREF_34882_Refunds"></a>Refunds</h2>
<p>With the Payflow Link hosted gateway solution, refund transactions are not integrated in Polaris. Credit card refunds must be handled separately, both through Payflow Link and manually from the Polaris patron account in the Polaris staff client. For example, if a replacement charge has been paid via credit card, the refund must be issued manually from the Polaris patron account transaction summary and then again from Payflow Link. Work with Payflow Link to establish the appropriate staff accounts for handling refunds, then establish the refunds workflow with your staff. Do not allow staff to issue refunds to credit card payments from the Polaris patron account as cash or credit; instead, they must select <b>Refund.</b></p>
<p class="indent">
<img alt="RefundTrans.gif" style="margin-bottom: 0.000pt;width: 445;height: 334;" id="image8" src="RefundTrans_445x334.gif" />&#160;</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b><b>Note:<br /></b></b>If a patron successfully pays by credit card using the Payflow Link web page and the transaction is voided because Polaris was unable to update the database, then no record of a payment is made in Polaris and the patrons credit card payment will be voided by Payflow Link. If a staff member attempts to manually void a transaction using the PayPal manager, the void transaction is not reflected in Polaris.</p>
<p>Polaris also supports integrated credit card processing, such as PayPals Payflow Pro (see <a href="E-Commerce_PayPal_Payflow_Pro.htm#XREF_92731_Setting_Up_PAC">E-Commerce with PayPal® Payflow Pro®</a>), which does offer credit card refunds from within Polaris. In systems where some sites use an integrated solution and others use a gateway solution such as Payflow Link, refunds can only be made in these circumstances:</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>The staff client log-on branch supports integrated payments and the <b>Online Payments: Configure</b>&#160;option in Polaris Administration (Credit Card parameters) is set to allow payments from the staff client for the integrated solution.</li>
<li>The original payment was made using the integrated solution and the <b>Online Payments: Configure</b>&#160;option is set to allow payments from the staff client for the integrated solution.</li>
</ul>
<p>Otherwise, when an attempt is made to refund a credit card payment in Polaris, a message displays indicating that no refund transaction can be created. The credit card is not refunded and the patron account is left as is. This situation might occur if a consortium has implemented both integrated and hosted credit card payment solutions, or a library or consortium has changed from one solution to another and the refund is attempted after the change.</p>
<h2>Lost Item Recovery</h2>
<p>If a lost-and-paid item is recovered at check-in and the payment was made via credit card, and the library has set the lost-and-paid item recovery options to automatically credit the patrons account, a “dummy” refund is created instead of a credit. The refund will appear as a refund in the Polaris patron account and a refund transaction created. This transaction is available for reporting in the Refunds to Credit Card Payments report. You can use the report to cross-check transactions logged in Payflow Link. (Note that the refund must also be made from Payflow Link.)</p>
<p>Instead of automatically crediting the patrons account, you may want to set the lost-and-paid item recovery options to <b>Leave as is</b>. With this setting, the payments remain in the Polaris patron account and the refund or credit can be done from Payflow Link. Or your library may choose to disable all automatic recovery actions, requiring staff to create manual refunds when a lost-and-paid item is recovered. For more information about setting lost item recovery options, see <a href="../PDPfines/Setting_Lost_Item_Recovery_Defaults.htm#XREF_53174_Setting_Lost_Item">Setting Lost Item Recovery Defaults</a>.</p>
<h2><a name="TOC_Payflow_Link_Reports"></a><a name="XREF_98727_Payflow_Link"></a>Payflow Link Reports</h2>
<p>Payflow Link offers transaction reports; for example:</p>

<h1><a name="kanchor1719"></a>Set up Google's reCAPTCHA on the PAC Donations page</h1>
<p>For libraries that use PayPal Payflow Pro for credit card payments through Polaris PowerPAC or Mobile PAC, Google's free reCAPTCHA feature adds human verification to the process of submitting a donation to the library. This minimizes the possibility of a robotic "user" making many small fake donations to the library to verify stolen credit card information. Genuine donors identify a picture or select <b>I'm not a robot</b> to continue with the donation process. For more information about reCAPTCHA, see <a href="https://www.google.com/recaptcha/intro/index.html">https://www.google.com/recaptcha/intro/index.html</a>.</p>
<p>When reCAPTCHA is enabled, users cannot proceed past the first donations page in PowerPAC or Mobile PAC until they pass the reCAPTCHA test.</p>
<p>To implement reCAPTCHA, you will need a Google account. Using your Google account credentials, obtain your domain-specific site key and secret key from Google:</p>
<ol>
<li value="1">Go to: <a href="http://www.google.com/recaptcha">www.google.com/recaptcha</a></li>
<li value="2">Select the <b>Get reCAPTCHA</b> button in the upper right corner.</li>
<li value="3">Log in with your Google account email and password and follow the instructions.</li>
<li value="4">Record your reCAPTCHA site key and secret key.</li>
</ol>

<li value="1">In the Administration Explorer tree view, open the <b>Parameters</b>&#160;folder for the organization, and click the <b>Credit Card Payment</b>&#160;tab in the details view.</li>
<li value="2">Double-click <b>Online Payments: Configure</b>. The Online Payments Settings dialog box appears.</li>
<li value="3">Select <b>PayPals Payflow Pro </b>in the <b>Payment processing gateway</b> list.</li>
<li value="4">Click <b>Properties</b>. The PayPal Properties dialog box opens to the Connection tabbed page.</li>
<li value="5">Enter the following settings on the Connection tabbed page:</li>
</ol>
<ul type="disc">
<li><b>Vendor </b>- Your librarys main account name. Obtain this setting from PayPal or your e-commerce partner.</li>
<li><b>Username</b>&#160;and <b>Password</b>&#160;- Obtain these settings from PayPal or your e-commerce partner. Once you have a username and password, you can set up others for the same account if you need to track manual transactions.</li>
<li><b>Partner</b> - Enter your partners code here (<b>PayPal</b>&#160;or your e-commerce provider).</li>
<li><b>Timeout</b>&#160;- Set the number of seconds that should elapse with no action before the payment connection times out. The default is 30 seconds.</li>
<li><b>Server</b>&#160;- Type <b>payflowpro.paypal.com</b>&#160;for live transactions, or <br /><b>pilot-payflowpro.paypal.com</b>&#160;for testing purposes. See <a href="#XREF_53784_Test_Values_for">Test Values for Payflow Pro Processing</a>&#160;for credit card values you can use for testing.</li>
</ul>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:<br /></b>The <b>payflowpro.paypal.com </b>setting is typical, but may be different depending<b>&#160;</b>your bank.</p>
<ol start="6">
<li value="6">Click the <b>Settings</b>&#160;tab, and enter the following information on the Settings tabbed page:</li>
</ol>
<ul type="disc">
<li><a name="kanchor3947"></a><a name="IX_cancel_SALE_method"></a><b><b>Cancel SALE method </b>-</b> This setting determines the appropriate automatic action (VOID&#160;or CREDIT) to cancel a SALE transaction. A sale may be canceled when it has been approved but fails AVS (Address Verification) and/or CVV2 (Card Verification Value 2) verification, or when a Polaris database error occurs. If a processor batch-processes sales transactions at the end of the day, a VOID transaction may be used to prevent the canceled SALE from settling. The library is charged only one transaction fee. However, some processors are host-based and do not use the batch method; in this case, all SALE transactions are settled immediately and a CREDIT transaction must be used to cancel the SALE. For these processors, the library is charged two transaction fees (one for the SALE and one for the CREDIT).</li>
</ul>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Important:<br /></b>You must contact your processor or PayPal e-commerce account provider to determine if the processor uses the batch method or if they are host-based. If the processor uses the batch method, you must also verify that SALE transactions can be voided. If so, you can select VOID for the Cancel SALE method and avoid paying two transaction fees. Most processors use the batch method. However, if the processor uses the host method, you must select CREDIT as the cancel sale method, and you will be charged two transaction fees when a sale is canceled. (Examples of host-based processors include PayPal and Global Payments Central.)</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Tip:<br /></b>Log files record errors, warnings, and information about credit card transactions.</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li><a name="kanchor3948"></a><a name="IX_errors_e_mail"></a><b>E-Mail credit card processing errors to</b>&#160;- This option is highly recommended. Specify a staff e-mail address to receive automatic e-mail messages when a credit card transaction fails and staff intervention is required. The message includes details about the failure, so the staff member can then take action on the failed transaction, either contacting the patron or adjusting the Polaris patron record manually.</li>
</ul>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Example:<br /></b>A patron's credit card is charged, but due to some type of error or processing rule, the transaction needs to be canceled or a partial credit needs to be applied. (This could be due to AVS or CVV2 failures or a database update error.) If the cancel or credit transaction fails, the patron credit card account is charged, but the transaction is not reflected in the Polaris patron record. A staff member needs to adjust the patron account.</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li><a name="kanchor3949"></a><a name="IX_in_credit_card_setup"></a><a name="kanchor3950"></a><a name="IX_AVS_security_overview"></a><b>AVS </b>- Address verification, a security measure that may be provided as part of your contract with your e-commerce partner. AVS matches the street address and Zip code on the Polaris payment form with the street address and Zip code in a credit card database that PayPal accesses. Select this option to use AVS. Then select a level of verification. For the following options, Y indicates the value matches, N indicates the value does not match, and X indicates that the cardholders bank does not support the check:<br /><b>—Full</b>&#160;indicates that the street address must be Y and the Zip code must be Y (YY) or the transaction is declined. There can be no N values and no X values. Earlier versions of Polaris automatically used this level. <br /><b>—Medium</b>&#160;indicates that there can be no N values (YY, XY, YX, XX allowed).<br /><b>—Light</b>&#160;declines transactions only when both values equal N. All other combinations are accepted.</li>
</ul>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:<br /></b>Occasionally AVS is faulty and a billing address, though correct, fails to be matched. In this case the user receives a message and the transaction is voided. If you find this is a problem, you may want to set the checking level to <b>Light</b> or clear (uncheck) the AVS option. Also note that the billing address that is displayed when the payment form opens is taken from the address information in the Polaris patron record, and may be different from the patrons credit card billing address. The billing address can be changed on the payment form. Once it is changed, it is not checked against the patrons record again during the transaction.</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li><a name="kanchor3951"></a><a name="IX_in_credit_card_setup_1"></a><a name="kanchor3952"></a><a name="IX_CW2_security_overview"></a><b>CVV2</b>&#160;- Card Validation Value 2, a security measure that may be provided as part of your PayPal contract with your e-commerce partner. This option requires the user to enter a code usually located on the back of the credit card. Select this option to use CVV2.</li>
<li><b>Pre-authorize SALE</b>&#160;- Available only when you select AVS and/or CVV2 verification. Select this option to AUTHORIZE a transaction before submitting the SALE transaction. An AUTHORIZE transaction returns an approval/decline without actually charging the cardholders account for the full “sale.” Set the amount to a small dollar amount such as $1 (the default) to process the AVS and CVV2 information. If AVS or CVV2 fails, the cardholder is warned, and the actual charge is not placed on the credit card account. This eliminates the need for VOID/CREDIT processing of a SALE based on failed AVS or CVV2. If the AUTHORIZE transaction is approved and AVS/CVV2 passes all tests, then a SALE transaction is issued for the full amount. If a SALE is declined for the full amount, the new VOID or CREDIT option would be used to cancel the SALE transaction.</li>
</ul>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:<br /></b>An AUTHORIZE transaction will still place a small hold (for example, $1) on the credit cardholders funds. Depending on the cardholder's bank, the hold may remain for 24 hours to a week. While this style of processing credit card payments can help reduce SALE issues based on AVS and CVV2 processing, it requires an additional transaction fee for every credit card payment.</p>

<p><span class="FM_BulletHead">Staff client transactions</span>&#160;- <br /><b>C:\ProgramData\Polaris\[version]\Logs\Polaris_Errors_[machine]_[date].log</b></p>
<p><span class="FM_BulletHead">Polaris PowerPAC transactions</span>&#160;- <br /><b>C:\ProgramData\Polaris\[version]\Logs\POWERPAC\<br />PowerPAC_Errors_[machine]_[date].log</b></p>
<p><span class="FM_BulletHead">Mobile PAC transactions</span>&#160;- <br /><b>C:\ProgramData\Polaris\[version]\Logs\MOBILEPAC\<br />MobilePAC_Errors_[machine]_[date].log</b></p>
<p><span class="FM_BulletHead">Polaris ExpressCheck transactions</span>&#160;- <br /><b>C:\ProgramData\Polaris\[version]\Logs\ExpressCheck_Errors_[machine]_[date].log</b></p>
<p>If you set up automatic e-mail for errors that require staff intervention (see <a href="#XREF_20301_Set_up_credit_card">Set up PayPal Payflow Pro credit card payments</a>), note that these are also included in the log files. Check the log files regularly to be sure that credit card processing is working properly.</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:<br /></b>The e-mail receipts sent to patrons for fine and Polaris Fusion payments also include a message if an error occurred that requires the patron to contact the library. Four language strings support this feature:<br /><b>PACML_PAYMENT_EMAIL_FINESRECEIPT_1063<br />PACML_PAYMENT_EMAIL_FINESRECEIPT_1064<br />PACML_PAYMENT_EMAIL_FUSIONRECEIPT_CONTACT<br />PACML_PAYMENT_EMAIL_FUSIONRECEIPT_SUCCESS<br /></b>You can view and edit the text in these language strings with Polaris WebAdmin (Language Editor). See the WebAdmin help file for more information.</p>

<p>To submit credit card payments from the Polaris staff client, PowerPAC, ExpressCheck, or Leap, you must establish a connection to a payments gateway and then configure the gateway in Polaris Administration. A license is required for each payments gateway provider. </p>
<p>To accept credit card payments from a staff client, Leap, or ExpressCheck workstation, a credit card reader must be attached to the workstation. When you install Polaris on a workstation where staff will accept credit card payments, the credit card reader option must be selected. You can set up credit card payment processing for the selected e-commerce payment gateway in Polaris Administration at the system, library, or branch level. </p>
<p>To accept PowerPAC or Mobile PAC online payments, you must enable secure socket layer (SSL) for the Web server in Polaris Administration. For PowerPAC, set the SSL: Enable PowerPAC parameter for the Web server to Yes. For Mobile PAC, set the SSL: Enable Mobile PAC parameter for the Web server to Yes. <MadCap:conditionalText data-mc-conditions="Primary.Hidden,Primary.Online">See <a href="../../Administration/PDserver/Setting_Web_Server_Parameters.htm#XREF_85345_Setting_Public">Setting Web Server Parameters</a>.</MadCap:conditionalText> Patrons must have SSL protocol enabled for their Web browsers and must accept the certificate the first time they log on from outside the library.</p>
<p>The link for paying fines in PowerPAC and Mobile PAC is on the Fines and Fees page in the patron account. If your library is set up to allow online credit card payments from PowerPAC, be sure the PowerPAC and Mobile PAC profiles, Navigation: Fines &amp; fees, are set to Yes for your organization in Polaris Administration.</p>
<p>E-Commerce transactions appear on Polaris financial reports. <MadCap:conditionalText data-mc-conditions="Primary.Hidden,Primary.Online">See <a href="../../Polaris_Basics/PIreports/Public_Services_Reports.htm#E-Commer">E-Commerce Credit Card Reports</a>.</MadCap:conditionalText></p>

When a payment is made through Class POS (from the Polaris staff client or by credit card from PAC), the transaction is recorded in the patrons account in Polaris.</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:<br /></b>If you are working in the Polaris staff client, you may be able to take credit card payments in Class Point of Sale, but processing takes place entirely within Class Point of Sale.</p>
<p><a name="TOC_Class_POS_Requirements"></a><a name="kanchor3667"></a><a name="IX_requirements_1"></a><a name="kanchor3668"></a><a name="IX_requirements"></a>All system-defined Polaris fee reason codes (that is, codes equal to or less than 0) must be entered in the Class POS application as the “Third Party ID” for the corresponding Class POS item. Your Polaris Site Manager assists you in setting up these entries. This ensures that when a staff member selects an overdue item charge to pay in Polaris, for example, the Class POS software also identifies the reason for payment as overdue item.</p>
<p>Class POS software must be installed with the Polaris staff client on the workstation, but staff members do not need to start Class POS. You are prompted to log on to Class POS only once, at the first payment action in the Polaris staff client session.</p>
<p><a name="TOC_Staff_Client_Workflow1"></a><a name="XREF_87787_Staff_Client"></a><a name="kanchor3669"></a><a name="IX_staff_client_use_1"></a><a name="kanchor3670"></a><a name="IX_staff_client_use"></a>You can take payments for overdue charges from the Patron Status workform - Account view or from the Check In workform. The Class POS interface automatically opens, and you can make the payment according to the librarys policies. Payments for billed and lost items must be made from the Patron Status workform - Account view.</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:<br /></b>When you pay from the Check In workform, but cancel the transaction in Class POS, the charge remains on the patrons account but does not appear again on the Check In workform. At this point, you must pay the charge from the Patron Status workform - Account view.</p>
<p>Payment transactions at check-out and at check-in <span class="FM_Emphasis">from the item record workform</span>&#160;are not integrated with Class POS, so you may want to set the system-level Circulation permission <b>Fines: pay fines at circ</b>&#160;so that staff are <span class="FM_Emphasis">not</span>&#160;allowed to pay fines through Polaris in these situations. Instead, the staff member creates a charge during the transaction, and then pays the charge from the Patron Status workform - Account view. For example, if the Overdue Fine dialog box appears at renewal, and the patron wants to pay the fine, the staff member selects <b>Charge Account</b>&#160;in the Overdue Fine dialog box, then pays the charge from the Patron Status workform - Account view. If the Patron Status workform - Account view is already open, you can refresh the workform (<b>F5</b>) to see and pay the charge. You can also refund a credit through Class POS from the Patron Status workform - Account view. When the Refund function is selected, the Class POS application is launched to process the refund and the transaction is recorded in both Class POS and Polaris. For more information about refunding a credit<MadCap:conditionalText data-mc-conditions="Primary.Hidden,Primary.Online"> <a href="../../Patron_Services/PPuseacct/Refund_a_credit_amount.htm#XREF_22681_Refund_a_credit">Refund a credit amount</a>.</MadCap:conditionalText></p>
<p>Class POS does not handle payments from patron account credits or deposits. If your library relies on Class POS software and POS reports to reconcile the cash drawer with patron account transactions, you may want to prohibit deposit transactions in Polaris. </p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Important:<br /></b>The effective interaction between Polaris and Class POS rests on charges, payments, and credit refunds being initiated in Polaris. It is possible to configure the Class POS interface independently of Polaris, and add options that might initiate a payment, charge, or refund from Class POS. However, Polaris interacts with Class POS as a payment manager only. For example, charges initiated and paid in Class POS can result in a credit transaction in the Polaris patron record that has no history in the Polaris database.</p>
<p>Polaris waive transactions are unaffected by the use of Class POS, and they are not registered or reported in Class POS.</p>

To set up Polaris for Class POS credit card processing, you will need the following information from your Class POS representative: the URL to the Class online payment page for your site and the Class POS database identifier (Item ID) for online library fine payments.</p>

<h1>Credit Card Payments from Polaris ExpressCheck</h1>
<p>Credit card payments for fines and fees are allowed from Polaris ExpressCheck if both the patron's registered branch allows credit card payments, and the ExpressCheck workstation's branch allows credit card payments. If credit card payments are enabled for ExpressCheck, patrons can log in and submit payments for fines and fees from ExpressCheck workstations that are equipped with a credit card reader. The patron selects the charges to pay on the Fines and Fees page, and selects <b>Pay fines now</b>. The patron swipes the credit card through the card reader. When the transaction is complete, the patron may receive an e-mail receipt that lists the charges paid, provided and email address is in the patron record. The Patron Status workform, Account view displays a note that the payment was made through ExpressCheck.</p>
<p>Possible error messages:</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li><span class="FM_BulletHead">Timeout message</span> - The transaction timed out and is canceled.</li>

<p>If both the patron's registered branch and the PAC connection branch are set up with an e-commerce provider to allow credit card payments from PACs, patrons can pay charges from the Fines &amp; Fees view in their library accounts. The patron selects the charges to pay and clicks or taps <b>Pay fines now</b>. The example below shows the Fines &amp; Fees view in PowerPAC.</p>
<p>

</p>
<p>When the transaction is complete, the patron may receive an email receipt, depending on the patron account settings. When a payment is made in the PAC, a note in the Patron Status workform, Account view indicates the payment was made.</p>

<h1>Credit Card Donations from PowerPAC or Mobile PAC</h1>
<p>When you enable credit card donations from PowerPAC and/or Mobile PAC, the list of receiving organizations is limited to those with credit card processing enabled. When a patron makes a donation, the receiving organization's credit card settings are applied. If the connection organization is a branch, and that branch has enabled credit card processing and donations, the donation can be made to that branch only. However, if the PAC connection organization is the library system, and donations are not enabled at the system level, a donation can still be made to any library or branch that accepts donations.</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li><b>Enabling donations</b> - Use the Credit Card Payment parameter <b>Online Payments: Configure</b> for your organization. Select your e-commerce provider in the <b>Payment processing gateway</b> list, and select the PowerPAC tab in the Online Payment Settings dialog box. Select <b>Allow donations</b>. Repeat using the Mobile PAC tab, if appropriate. For specific instructions, see <a href="creditpayPACs.htm" class="MCXref xref" xrefformat="{color blue}{paratext}{/color}"><span style="color: Blue;" class="mcFormatColor">Credit Card Payments from PowerPAC or Mobile PAC</span></a> and select the link for your e-commerce provider.</li>
<li><a name="kanchor1417"></a><a name="IX_branch_display_order_in_1"></a><span class="FM_BulletHead">Donation branch order in PAC</span>&#160;- In the PAC, the patron chooses a branch from a list when making a donation. The branch display order is controlled in PAC Administration. <MadCap:conditionalText data-mc-conditions="Primary.Online,Primary.Hidden">See <a href="../../Public_Access_Admin/PDOpower/Set_up_Polaris_PowerPAC.htm">Set up basic operating features for Polaris PowerPAC</a>.</MadCap:conditionalText></li>
<li><a name="kanchor1418"></a><a name="IX_suppressing_a_branch_1"></a><span class="FM_BulletHead">Suppressing a branch from the donation branch list</span>&#160;- Use the system-level PAC profile <b>Suppress branches</b>&#160;to prevent a branch from appearing in the list. For Polaris PowerPAC, this profile also suppresses the selected branches from the connection branch list (<b>Switch to another branch</b>), the list of branches on the Search Options scoping page, and the list of branches on the Advanced Search scoping page. For Mobile PAC, the profile suppresses the branch from the drop-down lists on the Library Hours and Preferences pages.</li>
</ul>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Important:</b>
<br />The donation Web part appears in the PowerPAC dashboard when you assign it to the page. Be sure to assign the donation Web part to the pages where you want it to appear. See <a href="../../Public_Access_Admin/PDOpower/Assign_Web_parts_to_public_pages.htm">Assign Web parts to public pages</a>. To display the donation link in Mobile PAC, set the Mobile PAC profile <b>Navigation: Donations</b> to <b>Yes</b>.</p>
<h2><a name="kanchor1419"></a>Using Google's reCAPTCHA on the PAC Donations Page</h2>
<p>Libraries that use PayPal Payflow Pro for credit card payments through Polaris PowerPAC or Mobile PAC can enable Google's free reCAPTCHA feature, which adds human verification to the process of submitting a donation to the library. This minimizes the possibility of a robotic "user" making many small fake donations to the library to verify stolen credit card information. Genuine donors identify a picture or select <b>I'm not a robot</b> to continue with the donation process. For more information about reCAPTCHA, see <a href="https://www.google.com/recaptcha/intro/index.html">https://www.google.com/recaptcha/intro/index.html</a>.</p>

<h1>Excluding In-House Workstations from Web-Based Payments </h1>
<p>To prevent web-based credit card payments from within the library, set the system-level Credit Card Payments parameter <b>Exclude local workstations from web based payments</b>&#160;to <b>Yes</b>. This setting supports a lower level of PCI compliance responsibility on the librarys part by preventing web-based payments through EnvisionWare from within the library network. “Local workstations” are those defined in the In-House IP Addresses database table. Add the librarys wi-fi connection to the table if you also want to exclude payments from mobile devices within the library. </p>
<p>When you exclude local workstations from web-based payments, the <b>Pay</b>&#160;option is suppressed from the patron account Fines &amp; Fees page, and the <b>Donation</b> link displays a message.</p>
<p>For more information about the In-House IP Address table, see <a href="../../Administration/PDresourc/Identifying_In-House_Computers.htm#XREF_75055_Indentifying_In">Identifying In-House Computers</a>.</p>

<h1>Credit Card Payments from the Staff Client </h1>
<p>The staff member selects the charges in the patron's account, selects <b>Pay</b>, and selects <b>Credit Card</b> as the payment method. The fine amount is displayed, and the staff member selects <b>Submit</b>.The system creates Store Order, Store Transaction, and Store Details entries within the Pending status; sends the request to the e-commerce gateway provider; and sends a query result request to the payment gateway provider. The staff member swipes the credit card through the card reader attached to the workstation. When the credit card is authorized, the system notifies the payment gateway provider that the transaction is finished, the Store Order is updated to a Complete status, the Store Transaction is updated to a Success status, and the patron account is updated. A confirmation message is displayed, and a receipt is generated as with any other payment method.</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:</b>
<br />Staff members require the <span>Fines: Allow credit card payments</span> to accept credit card payments and <b>Fines: Allow refunds</b> to process refunds.</p>
<p>Possible error messages:</p>

<h1>Handling Refunds When Using JetPay</h1>
<p>When you use JetPay hosted e-commerce, refund and void transactions are not integrated in Polaris. Credit card refunds must be handled separately, both through the JetPay management interface and manually from the Polaris patron account in the Polaris staff client. </p>
<p>For example, if a replacement charge has been paid via credit card, the refund must be issued manually from the Polaris patron account transaction summary and then again from the JetPay interface. </p>
<p>Your library should work with JetPay to establish the appropriate staff accounts for handling refunds, then establish the refunds workflow with your staff. Do not allow staff to issue refunds to credit card payments from the Polaris patron account as cash or credit; instead, they must select <b>Refund</b>.</p>
<p class="indent">
<img alt="RefundTrans00482.gif" style="margin-bottom: 0.000pt;width: 445;height: 334;" id="image23" src="RefundTrans00482_445x334.gif" />&#160;</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:<br /></b>Voided payments, as when the connection fails, are not recognized in Polaris, and the voided transaction will appear in Polaris as a completed transaction.</p>
<p>Polaris also supports integrated credit card processing, such as PayPals Payflow Pro (see <a href="E-Commerce_PayPal_Payflow_Pro.htm#XREF_92731_Setting_Up_PAC">E-Commerce with PayPal® Payflow Pro</a>), which does offer credit card refunds from within Polaris. In systems where some sites use an integrated solution and others use a gateway solution such as JetPay, refunds can only be made in these circumstances:</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>The staff client log-on branch supports integrated payments, and the <b>Online Payments: Configure</b>&#160;option in Polaris Administration (Credit Card parameters) is set to allow payments from the staff client for the integrated solution.</li>
</ul>
<p class="indent2">&#160;<img alt="AllowOnlinePayments00483.gif" style="margin-bottom: 0.000pt;width: 240;height: 257;" id="image24" src="AllowOnlinePayments00483_240x257.gif" /></p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>The original payment was made using the integrated solution, and the <b>Online Payments: Configure</b>&#160;option is set to allow payments from the staff client for the integrated solution.</li>
</ul>
<p>Otherwise, when an attempt is made to refund a credit card payment in Polaris, a message displays indicating that no refund transaction can be created. The credit card is not refunded, and the patron account is left as is. This situation might occur if a consortium has implemented both integrated and hosted credit card payment solutions, or a library or consortium has changed from one solution to another, and the refund is attempted after the change.</p>
<h2>Lost Item Recovery</h2>
<p>If a lost-and-paid item is recovered at check-in and the payment was made via credit card, and the library has set the lost-and-paid item recovery options to automatically credit the patrons account, a “dummy” refund is created instead of a credit. The refund will appear as a refund in the Polaris patron account, and a refund transaction created. This transaction is available for reporting in the Refunds to Credit Card Payments report. You can use the report to cross-check transactions logged by JetPay. (Note that the refund must also be made via JetPay.)</p>
<p>Instead of automatically crediting the patrons account, you may want to set the lost-and-paid item recovery options to <b>Leave as is</b>. With this setting, the payments remain in the Polaris patron account and the refund or credit can be issued via JetPay. Or your library may choose to disable all automatic recovery actions, requiring staff to create manual refunds when a lost-and-paid item is recovered. For more information about setting lost item recovery options, see <a href="../PDPfines/Setting_Lost_Item_Recovery_Defaults.htm#XREF_53174_Setting_Lost_Item">Setting Lost Item Recovery Defaults</a>.</p>

<h1><a name="XREF_60611_Setting"></a>Governing Library for Circulation Transactions</h1>
<p><a name="kanchor2376"></a><a name="IX_setting_processing_rules"></a><a name="kanchor2377"></a><a name="IX_overview_134"></a><a name="kanchor2378"></a><a name="IX_overview_133"></a>The system-level Patron Services parameter <b>Consortium Circulation</b> establishes which librarys settings govern certain aspects of check-out and renewal transactions: the patrons branch, the transacting branch, or the items assigned branch. An additional setting for lost item recovery governs which librarys settings determine how charges are processed when a lost item is recovered at check in. The governing library settings are particularly useful for setting uniform processing rules in consortia whose members may have widely differing individual policies.</p>
<p>You can set the governing library for due date calculation, loan and request limits, fine calculation, and lost item recovery.</p>
<p> The following transactions are affected:</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li><span class="FM_BulletHead">Due date calculation</span>&#160;- Check-out and renewal from the staff client; renewal from PAC; check-out and renewal from Polaris ExpressCheck; renewal by telephone (Polaris Phone Attendant). A renewal uses the settings for the governing library of the check-out transaction.</li>
<li><span class="FM_BulletHead">Loan and request limits</span>&#160;- Check-out and renewal from the staff client, including renewal from the patron account; renewal from PAC; check-out and renewal from Polaris ExpressCheck; renewal by telephone (Polaris Phone Attendant); offline upload. A renewal uses the settings for the governing library of the check-out transaction.</li>
<li><span class="FM_BulletHead">Fine calculations</span>&#160;- Check-out and renewal from the staff client, including renewal from the patron account; renewal from PAC; check-out and renewal from Polaris ExpressCheck; renewal by telephone (Polaris Phone Attendant); offline upload; check in from the item record; lost item charge options. A renewal uses the settings for the governing library of the check-out transaction.</li>
<li><span class="FM_BulletHead">Lost item recovery</span>&#160;- Check-in transactions from the Check In workform (Normal and Bulk modes), the Item Record workform, the Find Tool results list, and the Patron Status workform. For offline check in, the settings are checked and the appropriate charges are calculated when the offline transactions are uploaded.</li>
</ul>
<p>Governing library settings do not affect reserve item records, which always circulate according to the reserve items assigned branch, or offline check-out and renewal.</p>

<h1><a name="XREF_87871_Delete_temporary"></a>Delete temporary records when item is checked in</h1>
<p><a name="kanchor1438"></a><a name="IX_controlling_temporary"></a>The interlibrary loan application handles most ILL workflows step-by-step, including checking a requested item back in after circulation, which deletes the temporary records created in Polaris. However, some libraries may prefer checking the item in and then automatically removing the temporary records at that point. If you prefer to use this method, set the <b>Delete temporary records on receive</b>&#160;NCIP parameter to <b>Yes</b>; the default setting is <b>No</b>.</p>
<p>To delete temporary records when an item is checked in:</p>
<ol>
<li value="1">In the Administration Explorer tree view, open the Parameters folder at the system level, and select the NCIP tabbed page in the details view.</li>
<li value="2">Double-click <b>Delete temporary records on receive</b>.</li>
</ol>

<ol data-mc-continue="true">
<li value="3">Select <b>Yes</b>. </li>
<li value="4">Select <b>File </b>&gt;<b> Save</b>, or press <b>Ctrl+S</b> to save the setting.</li>

<h1>Set up centralized or decentralized NCIP processing</h1>
<p>The default setting for the NCIP Processing option is Decentralized processing, but you can change it to Central processing. Use the Central processing setting if ILL items are received at the central location and then sent to the requesting library or branch, and returned items are sent to the central location to be returned to the lender. The central location may be a branch or it may be a workstation within a library.</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:</b>
<br />If your library or consortium uses a mixture of centralized and decentralized ILL processing, where items are received at a central location but each branch returns items directly to the lender, the Central Processing option is recommended.</p>
<p>To set up central or decentralized NCIP processing:</p>
<ol>
<li value="1">In the Administration Explorer tree view, open the Parameters folder at the system level and select the NCIP tabbed page in the details view.</li>
</ol>
<p class="indent2">

<ul>
<li><b>Central processing</b> - When this option is selected, the ILL processing branch drop-down list displays all branches in the system. Select a branch from the ILL processing branch field.</li>
<li><b>Decentralized processing</b> - When this option is selected, the Default requesting branch drop-down list displays all branches in the system. Select a branch from the list. This branch will be substituted in cases where NCIP messaging does not include a recognizable Polaris branch to use as the pickup branch.</li>

<h1><a name="XREF_73020_Patron_Services"></a>Patron Services Administration Overview</h1>
<p>Polaris Administration settings control how Polaris data is categorized, used, and stored, and what functions are available to staff and patrons. You can make most administration settings by two methods: through the Administration Explorer, and through the appropriate workform for a specific record. Patron services administration includes specific settings for patron services and circulation functions. Many Patron Services Administration settings apply to both the Polaris staff client and Polaris Leap.</p>

<h1><a name="XREF_11603_Calculating_and"></a>Calculating, Blocking for, and Displaying Estimated Accrued Fines</h1>
<p><a name="kanchor430"></a><a name="IX_including_in_estimated_1"></a><a name="kanchor431"></a><a name="IX_including_in_estimated"></a><a name="kanchor432"></a><a name="IX_including_estimated_1"></a><a name="kanchor433"></a><a name="IX_including_estimated"></a><a name="kanchor434"></a>Polaris provides the ability to display an estimated fine amount (accrued fines) for overdue items a patron has currently checked out. You can opt to include claimed and/or lost items in the estimate calculation (system level only). The estimated fine amount information is available in the staff client, the PowerPAC and Mobile PAC patron account, and the Polaris ExpressCheck patron account.</p>
<p>In addition, you can choose to block the patron for a threshold amount that is the total of actual fines and accrued fines, not just fines already on the patron account, using the normal fines block functionality (see <a href="Defining_Loan_and_Request_Limit_Blocks.htm#XREF_37854_Unpaid_Fine_Limits">Fine Limits</a>). If you choose to include accrued fines in blocking calculations, the accrued fines are added to any existing fines in real time and patrons are blocked as appropriate, using the normal fines block. The option to include accrued fines in blocking calculations is available at the system level only. This function applies to all check-out and renewals in Polaris, including staff client check-out and renewal, ExpressCheck check-out and renewal, renewal from PowerPAC or Mobile PAC, telephony renewal, and SIP check-out and renewal.</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li><span class="FM_BulletHead">Governing library</span>&#160;- The calculation of the accrued amount is based on the setting of the governing library for fine calculation, set in the system-level Patron Services parameter <b>Consortium circulation</b>. &#160;(If that option is set to <b>Use transacting branch</b>, the calculation is based on the lending branchs settings.)</li>
</ul>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:<br /></b>In some lost item scenarios it is possible to have a lost item where the replacement and overdue charges have not been charged. If the Transacting branch (the branch where the item is checked in) has been selected as the governing library for lost item recovery, that branchs charges would apply when and where the item is finally recovered, which cannot be known in advance. In this case the estimated amount will be based on the loaning branchs settings.</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li><span class="FM_BulletHead">Hourly loans</span>&#160;- Accrued fines on hourly loans are calculated in real time and added to any actual fines at the time the block is calculated. </li>
<li><span class="FM_BulletHead">Maximum fine limit</span>&#160;- When the total amount is calculated and displayed, the displayed amount will not exceed the maximum fine limit per material type as defined in the Fines policy table, even if the calculated amount is greater. In other words, the patron will not be charged for an amount greater than the maximum fine limit.</li>
<li><span class="FM_BulletHead">Lost items with overdues</span>&#160;- You can opt to include items in the estimated fine calculation that are declared or billed lost but the overdue fine has not been charged. See <a href="Set_up_estimate_accrued_fine_calculations_and_blocking.htm#XREF_11337_Set_up_estimate">Set up estimate accrued fine calculations and blocking</a>.</li>
<li><span class="FM_BulletHead">Claimed items</span>&#160;- You can also opt to include claimed items in the estimated fine calculation. See <a href="Set_up_estimate_accrued_fine_calculations_and_blocking.htm#XREF_11337_Set_up_estimate">Set up estimate accrued fine calculations and blocking</a>.</li>
<li><span class="FM_BulletHead">Claimed and lost items in PAC patron account display</span>&#160;- The PAC patron account displays claimed and lost items only if the PowerPAC profile (and Mobile PAC profile, if applicable) <b>Navigation: Claimed and Lost</b> is set to <b>Yes</b> for the patron's registered branch. If it is set to <b>No</b>, the patron may be blocked for accrued fines that are not obvious in the patron account display. Many libraries have a lost item limit block and/or a claimed item limit block, and these may block the account before or in addition to the accrued fines block. </li>
<li><span class="FM_BulletHead">Notification and reporting</span>&#160;- The accrued amounts are not included on overdue notices, in the calculation for billing, or in calculations for collection agency reporting.</li>
</ul>
<p>In summary, accrued fines are calculated for overdue items if the Patron Code/Fine Code Fine Amount definition is greater than $0.00 and any one of the following conditions is true:</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>The circulation status is Out and the item is overdue, but the overdue fine is not charged.</li>
<li>You have opted to included claimed items in the calculation, the item circulation status is Claimed, and the system-level Patron Services parameter <b>Overdues: Charge fines for claimed items</b>&#160;is set to <b>Yes</b>. The table summarizes the effects of claimed items settings:</li>

<h2><a name="TOC_Displaying_Estimated"></a>Displaying Estimated Fines</h2>
<p>Estimated fines are available for display in both the staff client and PAC. (Including accrued fines in blocking calculations is optional and set at the system level. See <a href="Set_up_estimate_accrued_fine_calculations_and_blocking.htm" class="MCXref xref"><span style="color: Blue;" class="mcFormatColor">Set up estimate accrued fine calculations and blocking</span></a>.)</p>
<h3 style="font-size: 12pt;">Staff Client Display</h3>
<p><a name="kanchor435"></a><a name="IX_estimated_display_in"></a>From the Patron Status workform - Items Out view, staff can estimate accrued fines on items that are currently overdue, calculating the fines if the items were returned today or on a date selected from a calendar. If you choose to include lost and/or claimed items in the accrued fine calculation, similar functionality is available from the Patron Status workform - Claims view. <MadCap:conditionalText data-mc-conditions="Primary.Hidden,Primary.Online">For more information, see <a href="../../Patron_Services/PPuseacct/Estimate_fines_on_currently_checked_out_items.htm">Estimate fines on currently checked out items</a>.</MadCap:conditionalText></p>
<h3 style="font-size: 12pt;">PAC Patron Account Display</h3>
<p><a name="kanchor436"></a><a name="IX_estimated_display_in_PAC"></a><a name="kanchor437"></a>In PAC, the patron can estimate accrued fines from the Items Out page, the Fines &amp; Fees page, and the Claimed &amp; Lost page of the patron account. In PowerPAC, the option to estimate overdue fines appears below the list if there are overdue items. The example shows the Items Out page.</p>
<p>
<img src="../../../Resources/Images/PACEstFinesButton_551x123.png" style="width: 551;height: 123;" alt="" />
</p>
<p>When the patron clicks <b>Estimate Overdue Fines</b>, a light box displays the title, author, item status, due date, and accrued fine for each overdue item, as well as the total due as of the current date. If you have opted to include claimed and/or lost items in the estimate, these are included in the display and calculation.</p>
<p>
<img src="../../../Resources/Images/PACEstFinesBox_447x319.png" style="width: 447;height: 319;" alt="" />
</p>
<p>The patron can click the date field to select a different estimation date from a calendar.</p>
<p>
<img src="../../../Resources/Images/PACEstFinesCalendar_448x313.png" style="width: 448;height: 313;" alt="" />

<p>If you choose to include accrued fines in the patron blocking calculation, the patron fine block message appears when appropriate in PAC and the patron cannot renew items. </p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:<br /></b>If the estimated amount includes lost item overdues or claimed items, the patron account is blocked. However, claimed and lost items are only displayed in the PAC patron account if the PowerPAC profile (and Mobile PAC profile, if applicable) <b>Navigation: Claimed and Lost</b> is set to <b>Yes</b> for the patron's registered branch.</p>

<p><a name="kanchor438"></a><a name="IX_estimated_display_in_1"></a><a name="kanchor439"></a>ExpressCheck users can estimate fines using a dashboard control in the patron account. The patron sets the date and clicks <b>Calculate</b>.</p>

<p><a name="kanchor440"></a><a name="IX_estimated_option_in"></a><a name="kanchor441"></a>You enable a selection to hear estimated fines at the top-level menu. (If the patron does not have any overdue or claimed items, the option is not available.) When the patron selects this option, the message includes the author, title, due date, and estimated amount for each item, and the total due. To enable this option, select <b>Estimate Fines</b>&#160;in the Phone Attendant configuration utility. <MadCap:conditionalText data-mc-conditions="Primary.Hidden,Primary.Online">For details, see <a><span class="FM_LinkArea">Set Phone Attendant options for specific lines</span></a>.</MadCap:conditionalText></p>

<p>If the patron has lost or claimed items and overdue items, an additional message states <b>Additional charges are due for lost or claimed items, please contact the library for more information.</b>&#160;If the patron has only lost or claimed items but no overdue items, only the <b>Additional charges message </b>is played.</p>

<h1><a name="XREF_60611_Setting"></a>Defining Circ and Request Limit Blocks</h1>
<p>Blocks interrupt circulation transactions, such as check outs, renewals, and hold requests. A threshold value determines the limit that causes a block to interrupt the transactions. Most blocks can be overridden at the discretion of the library staff member.</p>
<p>You can set up circulation blocks related to item records (for example, the item does not circulate) and patron records (for example, the patron owes money or has borrowed too many items). You can also set loan and request limits that trigger blocks based on patron codes and material types. Separate settings control blocks on patron-initiated renewals from the PAC or inbound telephony service. Polaris also provides the ability to block a patron from checking out or renewing materials when an associated patron record is blocked; you define default settings for this feature in Polaris Administration.</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:<br /></b>If your system includes self-check units, you set up blocks specifically for circulation transactions at the self-check units. For more information about SIP2 units, see<span> </span><a href="../PDPselfcheck/Setting_Up_SIP_Self-Check_Circulation.htm">Setting Up SIP Self-Check Circulation</a>. For Polaris ExpressCheck, see the Polaris ExpressCheck Administration Guide.</p>

Each branch may set different limits, and the limits can be different for each patron code. In the staff client, a check-out clerk with appropriate permission may override a loan or request limit block (except the second-level fine block). In the PAC, a message is displayed and the renewal is stopped. You can specify whether request limits block PAC requests. See <a href="List_and_modify_loan_and_request_limit_entries.htm">List and modify loan and request limit entries</a>.</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Important:<br /></b>The System-level Patron Services parameter <b>Consortium Circulation</b> determines which branchs settings are used for loan and request limit blocks. For request limits, the “transacting branch” is the pick-up branch for the request, not the staff members logged-in branch.

<h2><a name="TOC_Patron_Overdue_Limits"></a>Patron Overdue Limits</h2>
<p>A patron has too many overdue items, based on the number of items and the patron code. These blocks occur when the patron attempts to check out or renew an item.</p>
<h2><a name="TOC_Fine_Limits"></a><a name="XREF_37854_Unpaid_Fine_Limits"></a>Fine Limits</h2>
<p><a name="kanchor2720"></a><a name="IX_unpaid_fines"></a>Blocks for unpaid fines are based on the total amount the patron owes and the patron code. These blocks occur when the patron attempts to check out or renew an item. You can define two fine limit levels. The first (minor) fine limit block allows libraries to remind patrons that fines are owed, but does not disrupt a busy circulation desk for minor fines. The second (major) fine <span style="color: #1f4a7d;">a separate permission</span> is required to continue the transaction. See <a href="#XREF_15218_Defining_Loan">Defining Loan and Request Limit Blocks</a>.</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Example:<br /></b>The first fine limit may be set to $.10 (10 cents) the second to $10.00. If the patron owes over $.10 but is not over $10.00, a courtesy block, not requiring permission to continue, will display. If the patron owes over $10.00 a different block message appears. Staff will require a separate permission to continue.</p>
<p class="NoteShade">Note that all threshold blocking is based on values up to and including the value set in the System Administration control. Setting a fine limit of $10.00 or an item limit of 15 means that the patron can have up to $10.00 in fines or up to 15 items, but will be blocked at $10.01 or 16 items.</p>
<p><a name="kanchor2721"></a><a name="IX_coordinating_settings"></a>You can manipulate the settings for special conditions:</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li><span class="FM_BulletHead">Block for any fines</span> - Set the first fine limit to 0.00 to block the transaction if the patron has <span class="FM_Emphasis">any</span> unpaid fines. The permissioned staff member can bypass the block at her discretion. To require a supervisor override for any unpaid fines, set the first fine limit to 999999.99 and the second limit to 0.00.</li>
<li><span class="FM_BulletHead">Do not block for fines</span> - Setting the first or second level fine limit to 999999.99 effectively suppresses the block at that level.</li>
<li><span class="FM_BulletHead">Fine notices</span> - If your library uses fine notices, set the second level fine amount to a value equal to or less than the setting in the <b>Minimum balance</b> box for fine notices (Notification options). This combination of settings blocks the patron at circulation before a fine notice is sent, which helps prevent additional fines after notification. For more information about fine notices, see <a href="../PDPnotices/Fine_Notices.htm#XREF_43049_Setting_Up_Fine">Fine Notices</a>.</li>
</ul>
<p>You can choose to include estimated accrued fines in the blocking calculation. See <a href="Calculating_and_Blocking_for_Estimated_Accrued_Fines.htm#XREF_11603_Calculating_and">Calculating and Blocking for Estimated Accrued Fines</a>.</p>
<h2><a name="TOC_Item_Loan_Limits"></a>Item (Loan) Limits</h2>
<p>A patron has too many total items, too many items of a specific material type, or too many course reserve items borrowed at the same time. For example, if the items out limit is set to 10, the block occurs if the patron attempts to Borrow an eleventh item without returning any of the other ten items. These blocks occur as each item is scanned at check-out, but not at renewal. To set these limits, see <a href="List_and_modify_loan_and_request_limit_entries.htm#XREF_77623_List_and_modify">List and modify loan and request limit entries</a>. You can also set limits on groups of material types for specific patron codes. See <a href="Defining_Material_Type_Group_Limits.htm#XREF_54653_Defining_Material">Defining Material Type Group Limits</a>.</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note</b>:<br />The optional increased check-out limits feature can increase the total item limit and the material type limits for enabled patrons. See "Increasing Check-out Limits by Branch" in the Leap help for more information about this feature.</p>
<h3 style="font-size: 12pt;"><a name="TOC_Total_Requests_and"></a><a name="XREF_41807_Request_Limits"></a><a name="XREF_59270_Request_By"></a>Total Requests and Request By Material Type Limits</h3>
<p>These blocks occur in the PAC and at SIP self-check stations when a patron has too many requests (status of Active or Pending, and optionally Held/Shipped or Inactive) or too many requests for a specific material type at the same time. The request limit blocks occur in the staff client when you have selected the holds option <b>Block in staff client</b> (see <a href="../PDPrequests/Set_Holds_options_Alerts_and_blocks.htm#XREF_65283_Alerts_blocks_due">Set Holds options: Alerts and blocks</a>). If you have selected this option, a block message is displayed in the staff client, and staff members have the option of overriding the block. The request is then placed as Active. If the <b>Block in staff client</b> option is not selected, no block message is displayed and the request is placed as Active (or whatever status is appropriate), regardless of any request limits you set. Patrons are automatically blocked in the PAC and at the SIP self-check station when they try to place a request that is one over the specified limit.</p>
<p>In the case of material type limits, for item-level requests, the limit for the items material type is checked directly. Items with valid barcodes and items without barcodes but with a status of On Order or In Process are included in the limit check. For bibliographic-level requests, the limit for each attached items material type is checked, and the Holds Options setting <b>If all material limits are exceeded set to Not Supplied </b>determines how the request is handled in the staff client when a patron reaches the hold limit by material type. If this option is checked, and all the items attached to the bibliographic record have the same material type, a block message is displayed in the staff client, and staff members have the option of overriding the block. If the block is overridden, the request is placed with a status of Not Supplied. The Not Supplied reason is <b>All items denied by system</b>. If some items have the limited material type and some do not, a message is displayed and those of the limited material type are automatically denied by the system. If this option is not checked, and all the items attached to the bibliographic record have the same material type, a block message is displayed in the staff client, and staff members have the option of overriding the block. If the block is overridden, the request is placed with a status of Active. If some items have the limited material type and some do not, a message is displayed and those of the limited material type are automatically denied by the system. See <a href="../PDPrequests/Set_Holds_options_Alerts_and_blocks.htm#XREF_65283_Alerts_blocks_due">Set Holds options: Alerts and blocks</a>.</p>
<p>For bibliographic-level requests where no items are attached to the bibliographic record, the limit is not checked. You can allow or deny holds on these items with a separate Holds Options setting. See <a href="../PDPrequests/Set_Holds_options_Alerts_and_blocks.htm#XREF_65283_Alerts_blocks_due">Set Holds options: Alerts and blocks</a>.</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:<br /></b>The system includes a patrons inactive requests when calculating whether the patron will exceed the total request limit or request by material type limit. This prevents patrons who are near the limit from suspending a number of requests in order to place more. The limit is also checked when a cancelled hold is reactivated.</p>
<p>The Hold request workform - Notes view displays a blue icon <img alt="DenyHoldIconSys.gif" style="width: 11.480pt;height: 12.954pt;margin-bottom: -2.000pt;" id="image17" src="DenyHoldIconSys.gif" /> for the item if the system denied the request on that item, or a red icon <img alt="DenyHoldIcon.gif" style="width: 15.222pt;height: 15.222pt;margin-bottom: -4.000pt;" id="image18" src="DenyHoldIcon.gif" /> if a staff member denied the request.</p>
<h2><a name="TOC_Governing_Library_for1"></a><a name="XREF_66270_Governing_Library"></a>Governing Library for Loan and Request Limits</h2>
<p><a name="kanchor2722"></a><a name="IX_limits_and_governing"></a>The governing library for patron blocks determines which branchs request limit settings are used (see <a href="Defining_Circ_and_Request_Limit_Blocks.htm">Defining Circ and Request Limit Blocks</a>).</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Example:<br /></b><b>Governing library = Transacting branch<br /></b>The request is placed from branch A, the patron is from branch B and the pick-up branch is branch C. Branch Cs limit settings apply because it is the transacting branch.<br /><b>Governing library = Patron branch<br /></b>The request is placed from branch A, the patron is from branch B and the pick-up branch is branch C. Branch Bs limit settings apply because it is the patrons branch.</p>
<p>Since the same governing library setting applies to both the loan and request limits, you may want to coordinate the settings for total item limits and total request limits. Some libraries set these limits to an equal value, reasoning that a patron should not be able to request an item if the patron cannot check it out. Alternatively, you may want to set the hold request limit without regard to the item limit, since the number of items checked out may change by the time a request is filled.</p>
<h2><a name="TOC_Setting_Up_Loan_and"></a>Setting Up Loan and Request Limit Blocks</h2>
<p><a name="kanchor2723"></a><a name="IX_adding_entries_16"></a><a name="kanchor2724"></a><a name="IX_overview_157"></a>The loan and request limit blocks are set with the Patron/Material Type Loan Limit Blocks policy table. They can be defined from the system, library, and branch levels, but are always assigned to a specific branch. They are not inherited from a parent organization. The table is displayed with the Administration Explorer only. When you open this table at the system level, you can view and change loan and request limits for all branches in Polaris. At the library level, you can view and change loan and request limits for the branches associated with the library. At the branch level, you can view and change the limits for the selected branch. Each organization can change limit blocks assigned specifically to the organization, even if the entry was added at a higher level. New patron and new material type entries are added automatically to the Patron/Material Type Loan Limit Blocks policy table:</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>When a new patron code is added to Polaris, a patron loan limit entry is added automatically for every branch.</li>
<li>When a new material type is added to Polaris, a material loan limit entry is added automatically to the table for every patron loan limit entry for each branch.</li>
<li>When a new branch is added to Polaris, all patron and material type entries are added automatically to the table for every patron code and material type.</li>
</ul>
<p>The new entries use default values as the thresholds. You can change the values after the entries are added to the table. You cannot add entries to or delete entries from the Patron/Material Type Loan Limit Blocks table.</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:<br /></b>These System Administration permissions are required to modify this table: <b>Access administration: Allow</b>, <b>Access tables: Allow</b>, <b>Modify patron/material type loan limit blocks table: Allow</b>.</p>
<p class="NoteShade">All threshold blocking is based on values up to and including the value set in the System Administration control. Setting a fine limit of $10.00 or an item limit of 15 means that the patron can have up to $10.00 in fines or up to 15 items, but will be blocked at $10.01 or 16 items.</p>

<h1><a name="XREF_54653_Defining_Material"></a>Defining Material Type Group Limits</h1>
<p><a name="kanchor4417"></a><a name="IX_setting_loan_limits_by_1"></a><a name="kanchor4418"></a><a name="IX_check_out_limits"></a>You can create groups of material types and place check-out limits on the group as a whole for specific patron codes. The group limit may be different from the individual limit on each material type that is part of the group. For example, a patron code may have individual limits of DVD = 5 and Blu-Ray discs = 2. A patron with that code may check out up to five DVDs and 2 Blu-Ray discs. (These individual limits are set in the Material Type Loan Limits policy table. See <a href="List_and_modify_loan_and_request_limit_entries.htm#XREF_77623_List_and_modify">List and modify loan and request limit entries</a>.) However, if both material types are assigned to a “Media” group with a group limit of 5, and the patrons code is specified for the Media group, the patron will be blocked if he already has 4 DVDs and 1 Blu-Ray disc or a similar combination. </p>
<p>If the individual material type limits and group limit conflict, the patron is blocked according to the group limit. For example, a “Media” material type group consisting of Video Cassette and DVD may be set to 0 for a patron code “Child,” while the individual Video and DVD limits are set to 5 each. In this case, the patron code Child would be blocked at 0—that is, not allowed to check out Videos or DVDs. If the patron code Child is removed from the group, the patron code Child may have up to 5 each of both Videos and DVDs (total of 10 items) because the system then uses the individual material type limits.</p>
<p>Limits on material type groups affect check-out from the staff client, including bulk check-out for Outreach Services or Borrow by Mail, Polaris ExpressCheck, and check-out from third-party workstations via SIP or NCIP, where block messages appear at check-out. The group limit is also checked when offline circulation transactions are uploaded, and an appropriate message is written to the offline upload report. The message includes the group name.</p>
<p>At normal check-out in the staff client, if the patron would exceed the group limit for the patron code, a block message appears. The staff member must have the Circulation permission <b>Override item limit blocks: Allow</b>&#160;to override the block and continue the transaction.</p>
<p>You can set up material type groups at the system, library, and branch levels. As with other loan limit blocks, the system uses the setting for the governing library for patron blocks, which may be the transacting branch or the patrons registered branch (set in the system-level Patron Services parameter <b>Consortium circulation</b>).</p>

(EContent circulation is not supported in the staff client.) The PAC displays appropriate messages related to the blocks that you set. </p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Example:</b>
<br />You allow PAC renewals on overdue items. There is a fine associated with an overdue item, but the fine does not cause the total charges on the patrons account to exceed a block threshold. When the patron attempts to renew the item, the PAC displays a message that the patrons account will be charged at renewal and requests confirmation to proceed with the renewal. If the patron chooses to proceed, the patrons account is charged the fine for the overdue item. If the patron cancels, the item is not renewed, and the account is charged when the item is returned.</p>
<p>You set these blocks with the Patron Services profile <b>Patron initiated circulation: Blocking conditions</b>. You can set the profile at the system, library, or branch level. </p>
<p>Patrons are blocked according to the setting for the governing library for patron blocks in the Consortium Circulation parameter. <MadCap:conditionalText data-mc-conditions="Primary.Hidden,Primary.Online">For more information, see <a href="../../EContent Integration/EContentPAC/Managing_EContent_in_the_PAC.htm">Consortium Circulation parameter</a>.</MadCap:conditionalText></p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:</b>
<br />In addition to the blocking conditions you set for patron-initiated renewals and eContent circulation, PAC renewals are blocked when an item can fill an Active or Pending hold request, when the number of renewals (including the current renewal) would be greater than the renewal limit set in the item record, and if the PAC profile <b>Patron Access: Renewal</b> is set to block renewals if the due date would fall after the patrons registration has expired.</p>
<p>For more information on integrated eContent in Polaris, <MadCap:conditionalText data-mc-conditions="Primary.Hidden,Primary.Online">see <a href="../../EContent Integration/EContentPAC/Managing_EContent_in_the_PAC.htm">Managing EContent in the PAC</a>.</MadCap:conditionalText></p>

Among these conditions are library-assigned blocks. When a staff member adds a block to a patron record from the Patron Status workform, the <b>Library assigned</b>&#160;box on the Patron Block dialog box lists the standard, library-assigned patron block descriptions (for example, <b>Address correction required</b>) based on the block descriptions set up for the patrons registered branch. The staff member can choose a library-assigned block from the list (or type a free-text block).</p>

<p class="NoteShade"><b><b>Note:<br /></b></b>When you are bulk-changing library-assigned blocks in a patron record set, you must first select a registered branch because library-assigned block choices depend on the patrons registered branch. When you search for patron records by library-assigned blocks with the Polaris Find Tool, the blocks are determined by the settings for your current log-on branch.</p>
<p><a name="kanchor4071"></a><a name="IX_overview_155"></a>You define the standard library-assigned patron blocks in the Patron Block Descriptions policy table. You can standardize patron block descriptions among all organizations, or you can have different descriptions for each organization. You can add new blocks at the system or library level, but each branch selects which blocks to use. This table can be displayed on an organization workform or with the Administration Explorer. When you open the table at the system or library level, you can view, add, change, and delete patron block descriptions. At the branch level, you can view, change, or delete the descriptions, select blocks for use at that branch, and determine their display order. In addition, of the blocks selected for use at a branch, you can designate which ones trigger a generic block message in the PAC patron account summary. (A free text block in the patron record triggers the same message in the PAC patron account.)</p>

The Submission Report and the Update Report are scheduled to run in overnight batch processing, while the Collection Agency Synchronization Report is run on demand. These reports are ASCII text files that can be imported into Microsoft Excel or another spreadsheet application to format as needed.</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Important:<br /></b>Collection Agency reports depend on the SQL Server job <b>Polaris_Collection. </b>Before running reports, in SQL Enterprise Manager, check that the SQL Server job <b>Polaris_Collection</b>&#160;is scheduled properly and enabled.

It includes each patrons barcode, name, and the amount due. The Balance Due System is the amount a patron owes to all reporting organizations, and the Balance Due Org is the amount a patron owes to the reporting library. (If the reporting organization is the system, the amounts are the same.) It is possible that the patron may be reported on behalf of more than one library; for example, if the reporting options are set to Items Branch. In this case the patron would appear twice in the report, once for each reporting organization, and the Balance Due System is the total amount owed to both organizations. Also, the patron may have an actual account balance greater than the Balance Due System. This would happen if the patron owed additional charges to a third library that did not report to the collection agency. That larger amount, the sum of amounts due to the two reporting libraries and the one that did not report, is not included in the Synchronization Report because it does not impact any collection agency processing. The collection agency may use this report to verify that its records are accurate. You can run this report on demand, at any time. When you run the report, it is automatically transmitted to the collection agency. For more information, <MadCap:conditionalText data-mc-conditions="Primary.Hidden,Primary.Online">see <a href="Generate_the_Collection_Agency_Synchronization.htm#XREF_14366_Generate_the">Generate the Collection Agency Synchronization</a>.</MadCap:conditionalText></li>

<h1><a name="XREF_19362_Using_a_Collection"></a><a name="XREF_87761_Using_a_Collection"></a>Using a Collection Agency</h1>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:</b>
<br />For information about the setup in Polaris Administration, <MadCap:conditionalText data-mc-conditions="Primary.Hidden,Primary.Online">see <a href="Set_up_collection_agency_processing.htm#XREF_76604_Configure">Set up collection agency processing</a>.</MadCap:conditionalText></p>
<p><a name="kanchor1821"></a><a name="IX_overview_administration_2"></a>Collection agencies differ in notification practices and in how repayment is obtained. Some collection agencies, such as Unique Management Services (UMS), manage all collection communications with patrons who have delinquent accounts, but the patrons make all payments directly to the library. For other collection agencies, the library may send a fine notice warning the patron that the account will be turned over to collection. Once the account is turned over, patrons may make payments to the collection agency as well as to the library. Your librarys contract with the collection agency determines the cost to the library for collection agency services. To recoup some of these costs, you can set a collection fee on delinquent patron accounts.</p>
<p>Regardless of communication and payment methods, collection agency services rely on the automatic reporting capabilities of Polaris. Polaris automatically transmits a Submission Report of delinquent patron information and an Update Report of patron account activity to the collection agency, via e-mail, FTP, or both. You can have Polaris send copies of the reports to a library staff member for verification and backup. In addition, a Synchronization Report lists all currently reported patrons with their balances. You can run this report manually, any time.</p>
<p><a name="kanchor1822"></a><a name="IX_reporting_patrons"></a>A patrons account is considered delinquent and is included on the Submission Report when all the following conditions exist:</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>The patron owes an amount of money over a library-defined limit.</li>
<li>The money has been owed longer than a library-specified period of time.</li>
<li>The specific patron has not been excluded from collection reporting (the <b>Exclude from collection agency</b>&#160;checkbox is not selected on the Patron Registration workform - General view).</li>
<li>The patron code in the patron record has not been excluded from collection reporting.</li>
</ul>
<p>The total amount reported may include charges of all types, replacement costs, processing fees, and collection fees. Or, you can opt to report patron accounts based only on lost item charges (see <a href="#XREF_22428_Reporting_for_Item">Reporting for Lost Item Charges Only</a>).</p>
<p>Accrued overdue fines that have not yet been charged are not included in the calculation for reporting to a collection agency. See <a href="#XREF_11603_Calculating_and">Calculating and Blocking for Estimated Accrued Fines</a>.</p>
<p>The following events occur during collection agency processing:</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>After collection agency functions are started, the system identifies delinquent patrons. The Submission Report is produced during overnight batch processing and is sent to the collection agency by e-mail or FTP. The report includes all patron accounts that match the criteria you set in Polaris Administration. See <a href="Collection_Processing_Reports.htm#XREF_23374_Processing">Collection Processing Reports</a>.</li>
<li>A system-generated collection block and collection fee (if specified) is automatically added to the patron record. Only staff members with the system-level Circulation permission <b>Override collection agency block: Allow</b> can override the block.</li>
<li>The collection agency encourages the patron to settle with the library, or collects money directly from patrons and transmits it to the library.</li>
<li>The patron pays all participating libraries all the money that is owed, including fines and collection fees incurred after being reported to the collection agency. When the patron no longer owes money to the reporting libraries, the patrons account is out of collection. (The patron may still owe money to non-participating libraries.) The block is automatically removed from the patrons account, and the patrons account is considered to be out of collection.</li>
</ul>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note: <br /></b>If the patrons account is not paid down to $0.00 at all the participating organizations, the patrons account is still in collection. If the patrons account is paid down to $0.00 after submission to collection, but the patron incurs a new fine before the Update Report is generated, the patrons account is still in collection.</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>The Update Report is generated during overnight batch processing, and is sent to the collection agency by e-mail or FTP. The report includes all patrons who have been identified for collection and have had any activity (payment, waiver, or new charge) at the reporting organization since the last report, either the Submission Report or Update Report, was generated.</li>
</ul>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:<br /></b>You can manually remove a patrons account from collection. For information, <MadCap:conditionalText data-mc-conditions="Primary.Hidden,Primary.Online">see <a href="#XREF_23724_Remove_a_patron">Remove a patron account from collection</a>. </MadCap:conditionalText>However, the action is not included in any automatic collection agency reports.<span class="FM_Emphasis">&#160;If a patrons account is manually removed from collection, you must inform the collection agency.</span></p>
<p>If your library uses a second level of collections with the first agency reporting patron accounts that are still unsettled to the library and the library referring these accounts to a second collection agency, see <a href="#" class="selected">Second Collection Agency Management.</a></p>
<p class="FM_Heading3"><a name="TOC_Reporting_for_Lost_Item"></a><a name="XREF_22428_Reporting_for_Item"></a>
</p>
<h2><a name="Reportin"></a>Reporting for Lost Item Charges Only</h2>
<p><a name="kanchor1823"></a><a name="IX_reporting_for_lost_item"></a>Patron accounts can be sent to collection based only on lost item charges (combined replacement and processing fees). No other charges are included when determining if the patron account should be reported. However, if the patron account does qualify for reporting based on lost item fees, the total amount owed, including all charges such as overdue fines or printing, is sent to the agency. Similarly, after a patron account is submitted to the collection agency, all new charges of any type are included in the Update Report, not just lost item fees.</p>
<p>A patron account is sent to collection based on a threshold amount you specify. If you set the “item fees only” option, the calculation to determine if the patron meets the minimum balance for reporting is based only on combined replacement and processing fee charges. For example, if the threshold amount is $25:</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>A patron who owes $30 in combined replacement cost and processing charges for lost items will be reported to the collection agency. If this patron owes an additional $10 in overdue fines, making his total owed $40, when the account is submitted to the agency his amount owed will be $40, and the account will not be cleared until the balance is $0.</li>
<li>A patron who owes $20 in combined replacement cost and processing charges and $10 in overdue fines will not be reported.</li>
</ul>
<p>The “item fees only” option is available only at the system level. If selected, it affects all calculations to determine if a patron account qualifies for reporting, regardless of the <b>Reporting Level </b>setting (System, Library, Branch) or <b>Reporting By</b>&#160;setting (Patron Branch, Item Branch, Loaning Branch). For more information, <MadCap:conditionalText data-mc-conditions="Primary.Hidden,Primary.Online">see <a href="Set_up_collection_agency_processing.htm#XREF_76604_Configure">Set up collection agency processing</a>.</MadCap:conditionalText>&#160;</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:<br /></b>When you set the “item fees only” option, calculations for new collection agency submissions from that point on will be affected. Patron accounts reported under previous rules are not affected.</p>
<h2><a name="TOC_Reporting_Minors"></a><a name="XREF_72561_Reporting_Minors"></a>Reporting Minors</h2>
<p><a name="kanchor1824"></a><a name="IX_reporting_minors"></a>Polaris identifies patrons under the age of 18 from the <b>Birth date</b>&#160;field in the patron record. You can specify a guardian for collection purposes by setting up a user-defined field (UDF) for the guardians patron barcode. See <a href="../PDPpatacct/Setting_Up_User-Defined_Fields.htm">Setting Up User-Defined Fields</a>. In this case, the Submission Report to the collection agency lists the guardians address and telephone numbers for collection purposes. If you use library-generated fine notices, the message regarding the minors delinquent account is addressed to the minor, in care of the guardian, at the guardians address. If the patrons record does not include a birth date, but does contain a UDF with a valid patron barcode, the patron is reported as a minor. If the system cannot identify the UDF barcode as a patron, the delinquent patron is reported on her own behalf (not as a minor).</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Important:<br /></b>Innovative Interfaces sets up user-defined fields at implementation. If you plan to use collection agency services, and you want to specify a UDF to use for the guardian barcode, you must have Innovative Interfaces set up the UDF.</p>
<h2><a name="TOC_Collection_Agency"></a><a name="XREF_65697_Collection_Agency"></a>Collection Agency Reporting via FTP</h2>
<p><a name="kanchor1825"></a><a name="IX_FTP_report_transmission"></a>You can transmit Submission and Update reports to your collection agency via FTP (File Transfer Protocol), instead of or in addition to e-mail. </p>
<p>FTP is a method of &#160;sending data files to (or retrieving them from) &#160;specified locations on remote servers. &#160;In Polaris Administration, the library &#160;specifies the FTP address on the collection agency server. When the process runs, the Submission and Update files are automatically placed on the remote server.</p>
<p>Depending on the collection agencys requirements, the FTP file location for multiple branches may require individual folders for each branch or library, or a single folder containing the data files from all locations. For example, UMS prefers a single folder since the files for individual branches are distinguished by file name.</p>
<h3 style="font-size: 12pt;"><a name="XREF_99085_Secure_FTP_and"></a>Secure FTP and Third-Party FTP software</h3>
<p>Polaris also supports SFTP (Secure FTP), a secure way to transmit the data. If the library chooses to use SFTP, you must install a third-party SFTP program on the library network. You can also use third-party FTP software that does not support SFTP. In either case, you specify the program executable and any associated parameters in Polaris Administration.</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:<br /></b>Some networks may have restrictions on FTP or on file sizes, and there may be firewall settings that prevent FTP. The library is responsible for clearing the way for FTP on the local network.</p>
<h3 style="font-size: 12pt;"><a name="XREF_16028_Active_FTP"></a>Active FTP</h3>
<p>Some collection agencies may support Active FTP. Active FTP allows the remote service to initiate the connection to begin the transfer. However, the firewall on some networks will not allow this, so Passive mode is used. If the remote server accepts Active FTP, you can select the option in your Polaris Administration setup. As with Passive mode, the remote service will need to provide the parameters necessary to connect via Active FTP.</p>
<h3 style="font-size: 12pt;"><a name="XREF_50461_E_Mail_Summary"></a>E-Mail Summary</h3>
<p>The Polaris Administration e-mail setup for collection agency processing includes an option to send an e-mail summary only. When this option is selected, the program sends a summary to the specified e-mail addresses instead of a full report. The summary e-mail includes the summary data normally included in the full report. (This summary data is not included in the FTP files.) The header of the summary includes a mapping of the UDFs included in the files. The summary option should be used in connection with FTP transmission to alert the designated recipients that the reporting process ran.</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Important:<br /></b>The e-mail summary option is intended to be used with the FTP option. If the library sends files to the agency via e-mail but does not use FTP, do not select this option.</p>
<p>The e-mail summary feature is also valuable if there are transmission errors. If the FTP transmission fails for any reason, the summary e-mail message indicates that the process failed. The message includes the filename of the document to be sent and a reason for the failure, if one can be determined.</p>
<h3 style="font-size: 12pt;">Sending the Files</h3>
<p>When you enable FTP transmission, the Submission and Update reports are automatically sent to the designated file location, and a copy of the report file is automatically saved to a local directory on your server:<br />&#160;<b>\[Polaris Data Path]\[Version No.]\Logs\SSIS\CollectionAgency\Reports </b></p>
<p>If you report by branch or library, each location has a subdirectory: <b>SSIS\CollectionAgency\Reports\AMS-3</b></p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:<br /></b>If both e-mail and FTP output options are selected, only one copy is sent to the local directory.</p>
<h2>Setting Up FTP Transmission in Polaris Administration</h2>
<p>Before you begin setting up FTP transmission in Polaris Administration, contact your collection agency to determine the following:</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>FTP server location</li>
<li>FTP port</li>
<li>FTP folder name</li>
<li>Your user name and password for the agencys FTP server</li>
</ul>

<h1>Add courses for course reserves</h1>
<p><a name="kanchor4341"></a><a name="IX_adding_courses"></a><a name="kanchor4342"></a><a name="IX_Course_Names_table"></a>When you add courses, you associate each course entry with a branch organization, and specify more detailed identification information about each course. To add individual courses to the Course Names table:</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Tip:<br /></b>You can set up one or two “dummy” courses to accommodate special situations. For example, a library may put valuable or special items on permanent reserve behind the circulation desk. You might name the “course” for these items <b>CircDesk</b>. Although they are not reserved for an actual course, you can use course reserve functionality to control their circulation.</p>
<ol>
<li value="1">In the Administration Explorer tree view, open the <b>Policy Tables</b>&#160;folder for the organization, and select <b>Course Reserves: Course names</b>. The Course Names table is displayed in the details view.</li>
</ol>
<p class="indent2">
<img alt="CourseNamesTabl.gif" style="margin-bottom: 0.000pt;width: 458;height: 262;" id="image0" src="CourseNamesTabl_458x262.gif" />&#160;</p>
<ol data-mc-continue="true">
<li value="2">Click <img alt="btnInsert.gif" style="margin-bottom: -6.000pt;width: 28;height: 27;" id="image1" src="btnInsert_28x27.gif" /> to display the Insert Course Names dialog box.</li>
</ol>
<p class="indent2">
<img alt="InsertCourse.gif" style="margin-bottom: 0.000pt;width: 269;height: 118;" id="image2" src="InsertCourse_269x118.gif" />&#160;</p>
<ol data-mc-continue="true">
<li value="3">Select the branch in the <b>Organization Name</b> box.</li>
</ol>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note: <br /></b>If the Course Names policy table is opened at the branch level, only the branch name is displayed in the <b>Organization</b> list.</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Tip:<br /></b>Omit initial articles (A, An, The) from the course name. Unlike most searches in Polaris, if the course name begins with an article (A, An, The), you must include the article or use a wildcard character in the Polaris Find Tool search term.</p>
<ol data-mc-continue="true">
<li value="4">Type the appropriate values in the <b>Course Name</b>, <b>Course Number</b>,<b>&#160;Section Number</b>, and <b>Course Abbreviation</b> boxes.</li>
</ol>
<p class="indent2">The course number, section number, and course abbreviation are optional. Each value you specify will appear as a selectable option in the course reserve record workform. See the following examples:</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>If a course is always identified by a unique name and number combination, you can set up the table entry so that selecting the course name in the course reserve record workform always provides the correct course number.</li>
</ul>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Example:<br /></b>For a course listed as CIS631 Computer and Network Security, add one Course Name table entry with these values:<br /><b>Course Name: Computer and Network Security <br />Course Number: CIS631<br /></b>When the course reserve record is set up for this course, selecting the name provides the correct number in the course number field.</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>If courses are listed with common names but unique numbers, you may want to add separate entries for each name/number combination.</li>
</ul>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Example:<br /></b>Courses are listed as English 101, English 102, and English 103. Add three Course Name table entries with these values:<br /><span class="FM_Emphasis">(Entry 1)<br /></span><b>Course Name: English <br />Course Number: 101<br /></b><span class="FM_Emphasis">(Entry 2)<br /></span><b>Course Name: English <br />Course Number: 102<br /></b><span class="FM_Emphasis">(Entry 3)<br /></span><b>Course Name: English <br />Course Number: 103<br /></b>When the course reserve records are set up for these courses, the staff member selects the course name <b>English</b>, then selects the course number from the options <b>101</b>, <b>102</b>, or <b>103</b>.</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>Alternatively, you can make the course number part of the name itself, and leave the number blank.</li>
</ul>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Example:<br /></b>Courses are listed as English 101, English 102, and English 103. Add three Course Name table entries with these values:<br /><span class="FM_Emphasis">(Entry 1)<br /></span><b>Course Name: English 101<br />Course Number: </b>(leave blank)<br /><span class="FM_Emphasis">(Entry 2)<br /></span><b>Course Name: English 102 <br />Course Number: </b>(leave blank)<br /><span class="FM_Emphasis">(Entry 3)<br /></span><b>Course Name: English 103<br />Course Number: </b>(leave blank)<br />When the course reserve records are set up for these courses, the staff member selects the course name <b>English 101</b>, <b>English 102</b>, or <b>English 103.</b> There are no course numbers to select.</p>
<ol start="5">
<li value="5">Click <b>OK</b>. The Courses table list is displayed with the new entry. The status bar indicates that the modification is pending.</li>
<li value="6">Select <b>File </b>&gt;<b> Save</b> to save your changes. The status bar indicates that the record is saved.</li>
</ol>
<h4 style="font-style: italic;font-weight: bold;">Related Information</h4>
<ul type="disc">
<li><span class="FM_BulletHead">Modify a table entry</span>&#160;- Select the entry and click <img alt="ModIcon.gif" style="margin-bottom: -4.000pt;width: 28;height: 27;" id="image3" src="ModIcon_28x27.gif" />.</li>
<li><span class="FM_BulletHead">Delete a table entry</span>&#160;- You can delete an entry only if it is not being used in a current course reserve record.

The default values for the reserve item record can be different from those used in the equivalent (non-reserved) item record.

<h1><a name="XREF_60611_Setting"></a>Setting Up Course Reserves</h1>
<p>Your Polaris system may include course reserve functions to serve an academic community. With these features, you can place materials on reserve for use in a class during a semester or term. Reserve materials can be drawn from the regular collection, instructors may bring in personal material to be placed on reserve, or the materials may be temporary items such as photocopies. Course reserve records store information about the courses for which items are placed on reserve.</p>
<p>Polaris handles the reserved items through reserve item “records,” which are views of Polaris item records for materials placed on reserve. The reserve item record carries its own circulation parameters, which may be different from those in effect if an item is taken off reserve and returned to the circulating collection. Circulation statistics for reserve items are also kept separately. Staff and patrons can search for reserve materials from the staff client and the PAC. </p>
<p>In Polaris Administration, you set up course reserve data tables that supply the options for fields such as course name, school, department, and term dates in the course reserve record. Additional course reserve parameters enable course reserve functions, and control the default settings for reserve item records.</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:<br /></b>Polaris course reserve functions are available by specific contract. If your Polaris installation does not include Polaris course reserves, the features described in this unit are not available.</p>

See <a href="../PDPloans/Defining_Loan_Period_Durations.htm#XREF_40553_Defining_Loan">Defining Loan Period Durations</a>.

<h1><a name="XREF_42383_Calculating"></a>Calculating Overdue Fines</h1>
<p><a name="kanchor3647"></a><a name="IX_calculating_description"></a>Overdue fines are calculated when the item is checked in and the check-in date/time is past the due date/time. Ordinarily, for daily and weekly loans, a fine is calculated if an item is returned the day following the due date. The patron has until the end of the due date to return the book, even if the check-out time was early in the day. For hourly loans, a fine is calculated according to the exact time due. The Fines policy table associates patron codes with fine codes to determine the fine for the overdue item (see <a href="Setting_Fine_Amounts.htm#XREF_59242_Setting_Fine">Setting Fine Amounts</a>).</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:<br /></b>If no fine can be determined in the Fines table, a message at check-in indicates that the fine cannot be calculated. The check-in clerk can set a fine manually, using the <b>Overdue Amount</b>&#160;box on the Resolve Billed Item dialog box, or by adding an entry in the Patron Status workform - Account view for the patron.</p>

<h2><a name="TOC_Dates_Closed"></a>Closed Dates</h2>
<p><a name="kanchor3648"></a><a name="IX_use_in_fine_calculation"></a>Your library can specify, at the system level, whether Polaris charges overdue fines on library closed dates. By default, Polaris does not charge overdue fines on closed dates.</p>
<p>The following administrative settings affect how Polaris calculates overdue fines:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Dates Closed policy table - Defines closed dates for each organization. A closed date is a day (for example, a holiday) when the library is closed that is an exception to the librarys normal hours of operation. For more information, see <MadCap:conditionalText data-mc-conditions="Primary.Hidden,Primary.Online"><a href="../../UI_Ref/PRadminPat/Dates_Closed_Policy_Table.htm">Dates Closed Policy Table</a> and <a href="../../Administration/PDorgnizatn/Identifying_Dates_Closed.htm">Identifying Dates Closed</a></MadCap:conditionalText>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Consortium Circulation parameter - Determines which branchs closed dates Polaris uses when calculating overdue fines. For more information, <MadCap:conditionalText data-mc-conditions="Primary.Hidden,Primary.Online">see <a href="../PDPGovLib/Governing_Library_for_Circulation_Transactions.htm">Governing Library for Circulation Transactions</a>, <a href="Defining_Fines_and_Fees.htm">Defining Fines and Fees</a>, and <a href="../../UI_Ref/PRadminPat/Consortium_Circulation_Dialog_Box.htm">Consortium Circulation Dialog Box</a>.</MadCap:conditionalText></p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Overdues: Charge fines for dates closed parameter - Determines whether Polaris charges fines on closed dates. The default setting is No. For more information, see <MadCap:conditionalText data-mc-conditions="Primary.Hidden,Primary.Online"><a href="../PDPParamsRef/Patron_Services_Parameters_Reference.htm">Patron Services Parameters Reference</a></MadCap:conditionalText>.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Example:<br /></b>The governing library for overdue fines designates January 1 as a closed date. The Overdues:&#160;Charge fines for dates closed parameter is set to No. If a patron returns an item to that library on January 2, 2024, fines are not charged for January 1.</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Important:<br /></b>The system uses dates defined at the system or library level if none are defined for the governing branch. For consistent results, you might want to leave the Dates Closed policy table empty at the system and library levels and set closed dates only at the branch level. Alternatively, consider setting the same closed dates at the system, library, and branch levels.</p>
<h2><a name="TOC_Days_Not_Fineable"></a><a name="XREF_92955_Days_Not_Fineable"></a>Days Not Fineable</h2>
<p><a name="kanchor3649"></a><a name="IX_omitting_days_of_the"></a><a name="kanchor3650"></a><a name="IX_use_in_fine_calculation_1"></a><a name="kanchor3651"></a><a name="IX_indicating_days_where_no"></a>You can designate specific days of the week as not fineable with the Patron Services parameter <b>Days not fineable</b>. You can set this parameter at the system, library, or branch level. You specify which branchs setting for this parameter is used in fine calculation with the system-level Patron Services parameter <b>Consortium Circulation</b>&#160;(see <a href="Defining_Fines_and_Fees.htm">Defining Fines and Fees</a>).</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Example:<br /></b>A library designates Sunday as a “day not fineable” because the library is closed. If an item is due on Saturday and returned at the branch on Monday, fines are not charged for Sunday, based by default on the setting for the receiving branch (and regardless of the setting for the items assigned branch). No Sunday is calculated in a fine. For a book seven days overdue, the fine is calculated for six days because Sunday is not counted. For a book 14 days overdue, the fine is calculated for 12 days.</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Important:<br /></b>The system uses days defined at the system or library level if none are defined for the governing branch. For consistent results, you may want to leave the <b>Days not fineable</b> parameter set to <b>None</b>&#160;at the system and library levels and set days only at the branch level, or set the same days at the system, library, and branch levels.</p>
<h2><a name="TOC_Free_Days"></a><a name="XREF_58198_Free_Days"></a>Free Days</h2>
<p><a name="kanchor3652"></a><a name="IX_use_of_free_days_in"></a><a name="kanchor3653"></a><a name="IX_setting_defaults_3"></a>Free&#160;days are omitted from the overdue fine calculation during normal, bulk, or offline check in, and are typically set to cover unexpected closings. Libraries that allow items to be returned to non-Polaris libraries may find this feature especially useful; using the Free Days calendar control, staff can pick the date the item was returned at the non-Polaris library and the correct number of Free Days is automatically applied. The patron services parameters described below control <a href="javascript:void(0)" class="MCTextPopup MCTextPopupHotSpot MCTextPopup_Open MCTextPopupHotSpot_ MCTextPopupHotSpot_Popup #text #textPopup">free days<span class="MCTextPopupBody popupBody"><span class="MCTextPopupArrow"> </span>A value applied at normal and bulk check-in, renewal, and offline that allows you to omit a specified number of days from the overdue fine calculation.</span></a>. You can set the parameters at the system, library, and branch levels.</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:<br /></b>The governing library for fine calculation setting does not affect the&#160;free days parameters. The system always uses the free days settings of the receiving branch.</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li><b>Free days (normal)</b> - Determines the default number of free days for normal check in. Staff members with the appropriate permission can change the setting at normal check in (Check In workform - Normal view) using the <b>Free days</b>&#160;box or calendar on the workform. The new setting applies to the current check-in session.</li>
<li><b>Free days (bulk)</b> - Determines the number of default days for bulk and offline check-in. This setting also applies to check in or renewal from the Patron Status workform - Items out view, the item record, Find Tool, and during check out when an item already checked out to one patron is checked out to another. Staff members with the appropriate permission can change the setting at bulk check in (Check In workform - Bulk view) and when uploading offline transaction files (Bookmobile workform) through the <b>Free days</b>&#160;box or calendar on these workforms. The new setting applies to the current check in or offline upload session, and does not affect check in from any other workform or the Find Tool.</li>
</ul>
<p>When an item is billed and declared lost, no free days are applied to the overdue fine calculation.</p>
<p>A check-in transaction subtype indicates how many free days were applied when the item was checked in. Also, if the patron was charged overdue fines when the item was checked in, the Properties dialog box for the charge in the patron account shows how many free days were applied and the amount that was deducted for the free days. To open the dialog box, right-click the charge in the Patron Status workform - Account view.</p>
<h2><a name="TOC_Grace_Periods"></a><a name="XREF_13339_Grace_Periods"></a>Grace Periods</h2>
<p><a name="kanchor3654"></a><a name="IX_difference_from_free_days"></a><a name="kanchor3655"></a><a name="IX_difference_from_grace"></a><a name="kanchor3656"></a><a name="IX_use_of_grace_periods_in"></a><a name="kanchor3657"></a><a name="IX_use_in_fine_calculations"></a>A grace period allows a patron to return an item a little late without incurring a fine. The item is still marked as overdue in the patron record. Grace periods are set in association with specific patron code/item fine code combinations in the Fines policy table. For more information, see <a href="Setting_Fine_Amounts.htm#XREF_59242_Setting_Fine">Setting Fine Amounts</a>. A grace period differs from free days in that free days are omitted from the overdue fine calculation no matter when the item is checked in, whereas if an item is checked in after a grace period, the fine is calculated from the day or hour after the item due time.</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Example: <br /></b>If an item is checked out at 10:12&#160;AM on Monday and circulates for a week, it becomes overdue at 12:00&#160;AM on Tuesday (one minute after 11:59&#160;PM on Monday). There is one grace day. Due to the grace period, the patron is not charged an overdue fine if the item is returned on or before 11:59&#160;PM on Tuesday. If the item is returned after 11:59&#160;PM on Tuesday, the patron is charged for one day overdue.</p>
<p><a name="kanchor3658"></a><a name="IX_including_closed_dates"></a>You can optionally include closed days and dates in your systems grace period calculations. Set the system-level Patron Services parameter <b>Overdues: Add closed days/dates to grace days</b>&#160;to <b>Yes</b>&#160;to include these in the calculation. The default setting is No.</p>
<p>If you set the option to <b>Yes</b>, and the grace period includes one or more “days closed” as defined in the Patron Services parameter <b>Hours of Operation</b>&#160;or “closed dates” as defined in the <b>Dates Closed</b>&#160;policy table according to the governing library for fine calculation, the grace period will be extended by the number of closed days or dates. For example, if the number of grace days is 2 and if Sunday is a closed day, no fine will be assessed if the item is due on Friday and returned on Monday. But if <b>Overdues: Add closed days/dates to grace days</b>&#160;is set to No (the default value), only the two grace days, Saturday and Sunday, would be considered, and the fine would be assessed if returned on Monday. </p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Important:<br /></b>The Free Days setting and the calculation of the actual fine amount are not affected by setting <b>Overdues: Add closed days/dates to grace days</b>&#160;to <b>Yes</b>. The grace period exempts the patron from the fine, but if grace days are exceeded, the fine is calculated as if there were no grace period.</p>
<h2><a name="TOC_Waiving_Fines"></a>Waiving Fines Automatically at Circulation</h2>
<p><a name="kanchor3659"></a><a name="IX_setting_automatic_waives"></a><a name="kanchor3660"></a><a name="IX_waiving_automatically"></a>Two system-level Patron Services parameters control whether fines are waived automatically when items are recovered at circulation. To automatically waive the fine if an overdue item is found during check-out, set <b>Overdues: Clear fine if recovered at check-out </b>to <b>Yes</b>. To automatically waive the fine if the patron is renewing an overdue item, set <b>Overdues: Clear fine if recovered at renewal</b><span style="font-weight: bold;">&#160;</span>to <b>Yes</b>. Both parameters are set to <b>No</b>&#160;by default. (These settings also apply to SIP self-check units.)</p>

<p><a name="kanchor3661"></a><a name="IX_auto_charging_at_check_in"></a><a name="kanchor3662"></a><a name="IX_auto_charging_fines"></a>The Patron Services parameter <b>Check in: auto-charge fine from item work form and find tool context menu, </b>controls whether overdue fines are automatically charged to the patron account when overdue items are checked in from the Item workform, the Find Tool context menu, or the Patron Status workform - Items Out view. The parameter is available at the system, library, and branch levels and is set to <b>Yes</b>&#160;by default. </p>
<p>When the parameter is set to <b>Yes</b>&#160;and an overdue item is checked in, the fine is automatically charged to the patron account. If the overdue item can fill an active hold request, the hold request message appears and the staff member takes action on the hold request message. (When the parameter is set to <b>Yes</b>&#160;and a <span class="FM_Emphasis">billed</span>&#160;item is checked in, the Resolve lost/billed item dialog box appears, the staff member resolves the billed charges, and the item is checked in. If the billed item can fill a request, the hold request message appears before the Resolve lost/billed item dialog box. The staff member takes action on the hold request message first.)</p>
<p>If the parameter is set to <b>No</b>, the Check In - Fine dialog box appears when the item is overdue, and the staff member resolves the fine accordingly. However, if the item can fill a hold request, the hold request message always appears first.</p>

<p><a name="kanchor3663"></a><a name="IX_overdue_claimed_items"></a>A system-level Patron Services parameter controls whether fines are charged if an overdue item with a status of Claimed Returned or Claimed Never Had is checked in or checked out. To automatically waive overdue fines for these items at circulation, set <b>Overdues: Charge fines for claimed items </b>to <b>No</b>. This setting waives fines for overdue claimed items found at renewal, normal and offline check in and check out, and Polaris ExpressCheck check out. The parameter is set to <b>Yes</b> by default.</p>
<h2><a name="Setting"></a>Setting a Maximum Overdue Fine Balance</h2>
<p>If your library policy is that overdue fines cannot accrue over a certain dollar amount in the patron overdue fine balance, you can set a limit.

<h1><a name="XREF_94300_Charging_for"></a>Charging for Checkout and Renewal</h1>
<p><a name="kanchor5868"></a><a name="IX_overview_145"></a>You can charge patrons for checking out items of specified material types and optionally charge for renewing them, or charge only for renewal. You can also choose to waive the charge for certain patron codes. The charge policy is applied according to the settings of items assigned branch. Your renewal settings also apply to Polaris PowerPAC, Mobile PAC and renewals made through inbound telephony. Separate settings determine how the charge policy affects transactions at Polaris ExpressCheck and SIP self-check workstations.</p>
<h2>Staff Client Transactions</h2>
<p>For staff client transactions, you can optionally display a prompt regarding charges during checkout and renewal as appropriate. You might also consider placing physical labels on your chargeable items so that patrons know there is a charge before they reach the circulation desk.</p>
<p>When a chargeable item is scanned at check-out or selected for renewal, the system first checks for item blocks, holds, and patron item limits. Then, if you have set the system to display a prompt, a Patron check-out charge dialog box is displayed.</p>
<p>The staff member can choose to charge the patrons account and continue the check-out, pay the charge, waive the charge, or cancel the transaction. The appropriate permissions are required to pay or waive the charge. If the staff member chooses to pay the charge, a standard Pay dialog box is displayed. The Charge for Check-out dialog box also appears during bulk check-out of Borrow by Mail or Outreach Services items. If you have chosen not to display the prompt, the charge is automatically applied to the patron account. Check-out charges are not listed on the check-out receipt. If the same item is checked out again to the same patron before the library closes, the patron is not charged again.</p>
<p> If the item's assigned branch has options set to charge for renewals and charge for overdues, the Renew chargeable overdue item dialog box opens when you renew an overdue item.</p>
<p class="indent">
<img src="../../../Resources/Images/renew&amp;chgs_297x356.gif" style="width: 297;height: 356;" alt="" />
</p>
<p>When a chargeable item is checked out offline, the charge is applied to the patron account and a message is written to the upload log file.</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:<br /></b>In systems that use floating collections, the chargeable settings for an item change as the items assigned branch changes.</p>
<p>The Patron Status workform - Account view lists check-out charges. The organization listed with the charge is the items assigned branch. The charges are also listed on the PAC My Account - Fines &amp; Fees page.</p>
<h2>PAC Display</h2>
<ul type="disc">
<li><span class="FM_BulletHead">Item availability display</span>&#160;- The PAC item availability display includes an icon <img alt="DollarIcon.gif" style="margin-bottom: 0.000pt;width: 16;height: 20;" id="image27" src="DollarIcon_16x20.gif" />&#160;next to an item if the items assigned branch has defined the items material type as chargeable.</li>
<li><span class="FM_BulletHead">Courtesy message for hold requests</span>&#160;- When a patron places a bibliographic-level hold request in PAC, and at least one item eligible to fill the request would incur a check-out charge, a courtesy message is displayed. Note that the request may actually be filled by a non-chargeable item, depending on which items trap for the request. If after the request is placed new items become available from a branch that does not charge for checkout, or holds policies change, the message may no longer be accurate. It is a courtesy message only. You can edit the message in Polaris Language Editor (WebAdmin):<ul type="disc"><li>For PowerPAC, the default message is <b>If your request is filled you may be charged to check out the item according to the policy of the library owning the item. Do you want to place this request?</b>&#160;The Polaris Language Editor string ID is <b>PACML_CHARGECKOREQ</b>.</li><li>For Mobile PAC, the default message is <b>If your request is filled you may be charged to check out the item according to the policy of the library owning the item. Do you want to place this request?</b>&#160;The Polaris Language Editor string ID is <b>MP_MSG_HOLDS_CHARGE_WARNING</b>.</li></ul></li>
</ul>
<h2>Renewing Items From PAC</h2>
<p>If renewing an item is chargeable according to the settings of the items assigned branch, a message is displayed when the patron attempts to renew the item from the patron account. The patron can choose whether to continue or cancel the renewal. The default messages can be edited in Polaris Language Editor (WebAdmin).</p>

<h2>Phone Renewal</h2>
<p>The Polaris Phone Attendant also supports charges for item renewals, according to the policies of the items assigned branch. The patron is notified of any renewal charges and prompted to accept them. If both overdue and renewal charges will be applied, the notification is combined in a single message. If the patron chooses to renew all items at once (option #6), a status message informs the patron that the “renew all” process is underway, since the process may take a few seconds to gather information. In Polaris Language Editor (WebAdmin), the following language strings define these messages:</p>

<h1><a name="XREF_87511_Defining_Fee"></a>Defining Fee Descriptions and Tax Rates</h1>
<p><a name="kanchor5456"></a><a name="IX_overview_administration_1"></a><a name="kanchor5457"></a><a name="IX_overview_143"></a>Fees are charges that are unrelated to overdue fines. Examples of fees include patron registration charges or the price of a pair of headphones. Tax rates are for libraries that charge a Goods and Services Tax (GST). Using the Fee Descriptions policy table, you can:</p>
<ul>
<li>Enter fee descriptions so library staff can select them from a predefined list. </li>
<li>Set a <a name="kanchor5458"></a>default amount for each fee description.</li>
<li>Set a <a name="kanchor5459"></a>tax rate for each fee description.</li>
</ul>
<p>Entries in this policy table appear as selections on workform views and dialog boxes where you handle patron charges, such as the <b>Reason</b> list from which you can select a fee reason when adding a charge to a patron's account. Entries also appear in <span class="mc-variable III_Variables.Prod_Leap variable">Leap</span>.</p>
<p class="indent">
<img alt="ReasonList.gif" style="margin-bottom: 0.000pt;width: 440;height: 320;" id="image9" src="feereasonslist_440x320.png" />
</p>
<p>You must go to the Administration Explorer to view the Fee Descriptions policy table. All organizations in a Polaris installation must agree on the fee descriptions. You can add and change entries in the Fee Descriptions policy table, but you cannot delete them.</p>
<p>You can create fee descriptions at the system and library levels, but the entries are assigned to the system. You must be working at the system level to configure tax rates and default fee amounts for fee descriptions. Tax rates and default fee amounts do not appear in the library or branch level Fee Descriptions policy tables. </p>
<p>At the branch level, you can set which reasons are available to branch staff and determine the order of the branch-level selections. Some libraries prefer alphabetical order; others prefer to put the most commonly used selections first. You can also edit the description display text, however the system applies these changes system-wide.</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b><b>Note:<br /></b></b>These System Administration permissions are required to modify this table: <b><b>Access administration: Allow</b>, <b>Access tables: Allow</b>, <b>Modify fee descriptions table: Allow</b>.</b></p>

<h1><a name="XREF_60611_Setting"></a>Defining Fines and Fees </h1>
<p>Administration tables and parameters, combined with settings in the item and patron records, control how fines are calculated. The Administration settings are established when Polaris is first installed, but you can change them when a library or branch is added to the system, or when lending policies change. </p>
<p>Polaris Administration tables define patron codes and item fine codes, and determine the relationship between them. Patron codes and fine codes are shared by all libraries to make circulation consistent throughout the system. However, each branch in the system can establish different policies concerning fines for specific combinations of patron and item fine codes. </p>
<p>If an item is overdue at check in, the fine is automatically calculated based on these settings and posted to the patrons account. You can also set Polaris to waive fines automatically for items recovered at check out or renewal.</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Important:<br /></b>You set which branchs policies are used in fine calculation with the system-level Patron Services parameter <b>Consortium Circulation</b>. </p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:<br /></b>Set the criteria that determine due dates before you set up fines. </p>
<p>The library may also define fees that are unrelated to fines. For example, you can charge patrons for hold requests, equipment rental, damaged or lost items, and checkout and renewal for certain types of items. You can charge a tax rate on those fees. </p>
<p>In Polaris Administration, you can set up the default fees, fee descriptions, and tax rates at the system level. At the branch level, you can determine which fee reasons are available to staff. You can also set up default replacement and processing fee amounts for items the library does not expect to recover, and how to handle overdue charges on lost items. You can use additional settings to control how the system processes the charges associated with lost items when the items are recovered at circulation.</p>
<p>If your library's policy limits the amount that can be accrued for overdue fines, you can use a system-level parameter to specify a limit on the overdue fine balance. If you set an overdue fine limit, then the overdue fine balance in all patron accounts never exceeds this limit.</p>

<h1><a name="XREF_77900_Overdue_Fines_on"></a>Overdue Fines on Lost Items</h1>
<p><a name="kanchor3202"></a><a name="IX_charging_overdue_fines"></a>An item may be declared lost in the following situations:</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>A patron notifies the library that a checked-out item is lost. Then a staff member manually declares the item lost.</li>
<li>Billed items may be declared lost automatically, a system-level decision. &#160;(If they are not automatically declared lost, a staff member may manually declare a billed item lost.)</li>
</ul>
<p>The Patron Services parameter <b>Lost item charge options</b>&#160;determines how overdue fines are handled at the time an item is billed and automatically set to lost, or when a staff member declares the item lost.</p>
<p>Most options controlled by the <b>Lost item charge options</b>&#160;parameter are available at the system, library, and branch levels. The governing library setting for fine calculation determines which librarys settings rule lost item charges. For more information about governing library settings, see <a href="../PDPGovLib/Governing_Library_for_Circulation_Transactions.htm">Governing Library for Circulation Transactions</a>.</p>
<h2><a name="TOC_Settings_for_Lost_Item"></a><a name="XREF_54548_Settings_for_Lost"></a>Settings for Lost Item Charge Options</h2>
<p>The <b>Lost item charge options</b> parameter offers the following settings:</p>
<ul>
<li><b>Overdues: billed items set to lost</b>&#160;- System level only. Setting the item status to Lost at the time the item is billed will ensure the most consistent results for lost item recovery. However, leave this option unchecked if libraries in your system prefer to declare the item lost manually.</li>
<li><b>Charge overdue with bill</b>&#160;- For best results, check this option if it is available (not grayed out). When this option is selected, the overdue charge is included in the bill regardless of whether the billed items are set to lost. If you prefer not to charge overdues with the bill, select the option <b>Charge overdue when returned</b>. The replacement fee and optional processing fee will still be billed. If your library has set a system-wide limit for the maximum fine balance, it is recommended that you do not select this option. </li>
<li><b>Charge overdue when declared lost</b>&#160;- Like <b>Charge overdue with bill</b>, this option is available only if <b>Charge overdue when returned</b>&#160;is not set. For best results, check this option if it is available. &#160;If the library does not charge overdues when items go to Lost as a matter of policy, the option <b>Charge overdue when returned</b> should be checked instead.</li>
<li><b>Charge overdue when returned</b>&#160;- Select this option if the library policy is to charge the overdue fine only if and when the lost item is returned. If you select this option but do <span class="FM_Emphasis">not</span>&#160;set <b>Overdues: billed items set to lost</b>, the library charges the overdue fine when a lost item is recovered but does not assume an item is lost until the patron comes in and says he cannot find it. In this situation, you will see the following effects:<ul type="disc"><li>No automatic lost item recovery options are possible because the items status is not Lost.</li><li>The patron is billed for the replacement cost and optional processing fee. However, the overdue fine remains uncharged and unresolved.</li><li>If the patron brings the item back, a staff member checks the item in and waives the replacement and optional processing fees. The overdue fine is calculated at that time and the staff member pays, waives, or charges the overdue fine.</li><li>If the patron says he cannot find the item, the staff member declares the item lost on the Patron Status workform - Items out view, then pays, waives or leaves the replacement and optional processing fees; the overdue is calculated at that time. The item is now lost, so lost item recovery options may apply (see <a href="Setting_Lost_Item_Recovery_Defaults.htm#XREF_53174_Setting_Lost_Item">Setting Lost Item Recovery Defaults</a>). (If the staff member does not declare the item lost, it stays out to the patron until checked in and the overdue fine is calculated at that time.)</li></ul></li>
</ul>
<h2><a name="TOC_Policy_Decisions_for"></a><a name="XREF_45254_Policy_Decisions"></a>Policy Decisions for Lost Item Charge Options</h2>
<p>Different combinations of settings reflect your librarys policy:</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>If you want to include overdue fines with the bill, and billed items are automatically set to lost, select the following options:<ul type="disc"><li><b>Overdues: billed items set to lost</b> (system level only)</li><li><b>Charge overdue with bill</b></li><li><b>Charge overdue when declared lost</b></li></ul></li>
</ul>
<ul type="disc">
<li>If you want to include overdue fines with the bill, and billed items are <b>not</b> automatically set to lost, select the following options:<ul type="disc"><li><b>Charge overdue with bill </b>- This option should not be selected if your library specifies a maximum overdue fine balance amount.</li><li><b>Charge overdue when declared lost</b></li></ul></li>
</ul>
<ul type="disc">
<li>If you want to charge overdue fines when an item is returned, and billed items are not automatically set to lost, select <b>Charge overdue when returned</b>.</li>

<h1><a name="kanchor3240"></a>Setting a Maximum Overdue Fine Balance Limit</h1>
<p>You can use the System-level Patron Services parameter <b>Overdues: maximum overdue fine balance</b> to define a maximum amount for overdue fine balances so that patron accounts never exceed a certain dollar amount for overdue fines. By default, this parameter is disabled (set at $0.00). To enable this parameter, the amount must be set above $0.00. Once enabled, the maximum overdue fine balance is applied at the System levelto all patron accounts for all branches.</p>
<p>When a maximum overdue fine balance amount greater than zero is entered in the parameter, the system checks the total current overdue fine balance in patrons' accounts before adding overdue fines. As each overdue item is checked in or renewed, the patron's account is charged the overdue fine until the total current balance reaches the dollar amount limit defined in the parameter. Once the limit is reached, fines for subsequent overdue items are not added to the patron's account. </p>
<p> If a dollar amount is entered in the parameter, the threshold is checked when overdue fines are assessed during check-ins or renewals from: the Polaris staff client; self-check units (Polaris ExpressCheck and SIP); Leap; PowerPAC (renewals); and the Polaris API.</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:</b>
<br />When enabled, this parameter sets the maximum dollar amount for total current overdue fines only. The limit is applied to a patron's account at check in or renewal; it does not apply to manually-added charges, replacement costs or other fees.</p>
<p>To set a maximum overdue fine balance amount for all patron accounts in your library system:</p>
<ol>
<li value="1">In the Administration Explorer tree view, open the <b>Parameters</b>&#160;folder for the System.</li>
<li value="2">Click the <b>Patron Services</b>&#160;tab in the details view. </li>
<li value="3">Double-click <b>Overdues: Maximum overdue fine balance</b>, and type a dollar amount.</li>
</ol>
<p class="indent2">
<img src="maxoverParam_550x204.png" style="width: 550;height: 204;" alt="" />
</p>
<ol data-mc-continue="true">
<li value="4">Select <b>File &gt; Save</b> to save the setting.</li>
</ol>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Notes:</b>
<br />If your library specifies a maximum overdue fine balance amount, it is recommended that charges for overdue fines are not included on bills for lost items. This is because the overdue fine amount reflected on the bill may not be accurate. See <a href="Overdue_Fines_on_Lost_Items.htm#TOC_Settings_for_Lost_Item" class="MCXref xref"><span style="color: Blue;" class="mcFormatColor">Settings for Lost Item Charge Options</span></a><span>.</span><br />In addition, when a maximum overdue fine balance is set, the overdue fine amounts displayed in the Estimated Fines dialog box may not be the same as the actual amounts calculated at check-in or renewal. See <MadCap:conditionalText data-mc-conditions="Primary.Hidden,Primary.Online"><a href="../../Patron_Services/PPuseacct/Estimate_fines_on_currently_checked_out_items.htm">Estimate fines on currently checked out items</a>.</MadCap:conditionalText></p>

<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:<br /></b>Set this parameter to <b>Yes</b>&#160;if you use collection agency services. This ensures that if a lost item is recovered, the system reports the recovery correctly.</p>
<ol data-mc-continue="true">
<li value="4">To charge overdue fines when an items status changes to lost, select &#160;one or both of the following options:</li>
</ol>
<ul type="disc">
<li><b>Charge overdue with bill </b>- If <b>Overdues: billed items set to lost</b>&#160;is selected for the system, when the billed items status automatically changes to Lost the overdue charge is placed on the patron account, along with other appropriate charges related to lost items (see <a href="Setting_Replacement_Fee_Defaults.htm#XREF_97518_Setting">Setting Replacement Fee Defaults</a>). If <b>Overdues: billed items set to lost</b>&#160;is <span class="FM_Emphasis">not</span>&#160;selected for the system, the billed items status remains Out. The overdue charge and any other charges related to billed items are placed on the patron account.</li>
<li><b>Charge overdue when declared lost</b>&#160;- Select this option to charge overdue fines to the patron account when an item is declared lost by a staff member.</li>
</ul>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Tip:<br /></b>When <b>Charge overdue when returned</b>&#160;is selected, replacement costs are charged immediately when the items status changes to Lost, but not overdue fines. If your library uses a collection agency, the patron would be reported only for the total replacement costs. (However, any overdue fines already owed would be included in the collection agency calculation.)</p>
<ol start="5">
<li value="5">To charge overdue fines to the patron account when a lost item is recovered at circulation, instead of when the items status changes to Lost, select <b>Charge overdue when returned.</b></li>
</ol>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:<br /></b>If you select <b>Charge overdue with bill</b>, <b>Charge overdue when declared lost</b>, or both, this option is unavailable. </p>
<p class="indent2">Libraries that use this option typically charge any replacement and processing fees to the patron when the items status changes to Lost, but not overdue charges. If the item is recovered, replacement and processing fees are then waived or credited (if already paid), the overdue fine is calculated up to the point when the item was returned, up to the maximum fine amount, and the overdue charge is placed on the patron account.</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Important:<br /></b>If you select <b>Charge overdue when returned</b>, set the <b>Lost item recovery</b>&#160;parameter for lost-and-paid items to <b>Charge</b>&#160;for overdues. See <a href="Set_the_lost_item_recovery_default_actions.htm#XREF_37792_Set_the_lost_item">Set the lost item recovery default actions</a>.</p>
