You can view information about a borrower’s current blocks in the Current Blocks window, either during checkout or checkin. If Family Group is enabled in the matham table and the current borrower has privileges to manage the blocks of other members of the group, you can display and view those blocks as well. These tables describe the information and actions that the Current Blocks window makes available to you.
The display fields in the Current Blocks window provide this information:

Overdue Accrued Amt. |
This is the amount the borrower would owe if all overdue items were checked in today. This potential amount is not included in the total amount owed, since the items are not yet returned. However, once you check in an overdue item, the overdue block is removed and the overdue amount for that item accrues. The amount is then included in the total amount owed. |
