Charging Fines for Expired Holds

Horizon allows you to charge fines for holds that expire before being picked up or that are never picked up.

To set up fines for expired hold

1 Open the Horizon client and log in.
2 Go to Administration > Table Editor.
3 Select the circ_parameter table, and then click OK.
4 Select the Filled hold expiration fine parameter, and then click Edit.
5 Type the fine rate in the Value field. The rate is based on your selection for the Unit field (per incident, per day, per hour, or per minute).
6 For example, type “50” to charge 50 cents.

Note: This fine is added to the patron record during Day End processing when a hold expires.
