Setting Up Overdue Charges for Overlapping Circulations

There are occasions when Horizon shows that an item is checked out to one borrower, but you check out that item to a second borrower. If the item was overdue, you can have Horizon charge overdue fines to the first borrower.

To set up overdue charges for overlapping circulations

1 Set up charge overdue if item checked out while overdue for another borrower (circulation parameter 41).

For general instructions, see Setting Up or Editing a Circulation Parameter. Then use the remaining steps of this task to customize the parameter.

2 In the Value field, do one of these options:
If you want to charge overdue fines for items that are checked out to a second borrower while they are still marked as overdue for another borrower, enter “1”.
If you do not want to charge fines for items you check out to a second borrower, enter “0” (zero).
3 If you want to create or edit any exceptions, do these steps in the Special Values group:
a Choose the exception that you want to change, or create a new exception.
b Enter or choose a code in one or more of the location, borrower type, or item type group fields.
c In the Value field, do one of the following options for the exception you want to apply.
If you want to charge overdue fines for the exception, enter “1”.
If you do not want to charge overdue fines for the exception, enter “0” (zero).

Note: The exception value set here overrides the default value for this parameter.

4 Save your changes.
