Millennium Circulation allows you to add a Manual Charge, that is, one that is not generated automatically from an overdue or billed item, to a patron record.
For example, you might assess a manual charge to a patron who has returned a damaged book, has lost a library card, or has used another library service for which there is a charge.
Within the Fines tab, choose the Add Charge button.
Millennium Circulation displays the Add Charge dialog.
In this dialog, you can enter the Amount of the charge, the Reason for the charge, or choose a Predefined reason from the dropdown menu and, if necessary, the library Location to associate with the charge.
NOTE:
You are not allowed to enter a negative Amount.
The maximum length for the Reason is 100 characters.
You must enter a Reason for the charge, otherwise the system will not allow you to add it.
Millennium Circulation supplies a default Location, which is normally the code for the library where the transaction is generated.
After you have entered this information, choose OK. The Reason for the charge appears in the Title column on the Fines table.
Once you have added a charge to the patron record, the charge will appear on the next bill that is sent to the patron. If the patron is present, you can collect the amount immediately.
