C4::Circulation::Fines - Koha module dealing with fines
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use C4::Circulation::Fines;
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This module contains several functions for dealing with fines for
overdue items. It is primarily used by the 'misc/fines2.pl' script.
=head1 FUNCTIONS
=over 2
=cut
@ISA = qw(Exporter);
@EXPORT = qw(&Getoverdues &CalcFine &BorType &UpdateFine &ReplacementCost);
=item Getoverdues
($count, $overdues) = &Getoverdues();
Returns the list of all overdue books.
C<$count> is the number of elements in C<@{$overdues}>.
C<$overdues> is a reference-to-array. Each element is a
reference-to-hash whose keys are the fields of the issues table in the
Koha database.

=item CalcFine
($amount, $chargename, $message) =
&CalcFine($itemnumber, $borrowercode, $days_overdue);
Calculates the fine for a book.
The categoryitems table in the Koha database is a fine matrix, listing
the penalties for each type of patron for each type of item (e.g., the
standard fine for books might be $0.50, but $1.50 for DVDs, or staff
members might get a longer grace period between the first and second
reminders that a book is overdue).
The fine is calculated as follows: if it is time for the first
reminder, the fine is the value listed for the given (item type,
borrower code) combination. If it is time for the second reminder, the
fine is doubled. Finally, if it is time to send the account to a
collection agency, the fine is set to 5 local monetary units (a really
good deal for the patron if the library is in Italy). Otherwise, the
fine is 0.
Note that the way this function is currently implemented, it only
returns a nonzero value on the notable days listed above. That is, if
the categoryitems entry says to send a first reminder 7 days after the
book is due, then if you call C<&CalcFine> 7 days after the book is
due, it will give a nonzero fine. If you call C<&CalcFine> the next
day, however, it will say that the fine is 0.
C<$itemnumber> is the book's item number.
C<$borrowercode> is the borrower code of the patron who currently has
the book.
C<$days_overdue> is the number of days elapsed since the book's due
date.
C<&CalcFine> returns a list of three values:
C<$amount> is the fine owed by the patron (see above).
C<$chargename> is the chargename field from the applicable record in
the categoryitem table, whatever that is.
C<$message> is a text message, either "First Notice", "Second Notice",
or "Final Notice".

# Look up the categoryitem record for this book's item type and the
# given borrwer type.
# The reason this query is so messy is that it's a messy question:
# given the barcode, we can find the book's items record. This gives
# us the biblioitems record, which gives us a set of categoryitem
# records. Then we select the one that corresponds to the desired
# borrower type.
# FIXME - Is it really necessary to get absolutely everything from
# all four tables? It looks as if this code only wants
# firstremind, chargeperiod, accountsent, and chargename from the
# categoryitem table.

# some reason (the cron daemon died, the server crashed, the
# sysadmin had the machine down for maintenance, or whatever).
#
# Then the next day, the book is $data->{firstremind}+1 days
# overdue. But this function returns $amount == 0, $printout ==
# undef, on the assumption that 'fines2.pl' ran the previous day. So
# the first thing the patron gets is a second notice, but that's a
# week after the server crash, so people may not connect the two

=item UpdateFine
&UpdateFine($itemnumber, $borrowernumber, $amount, $type, $description);
(Note: the following is mostly conjecture and guesswork.)
Updates the fine owed on an overdue book.
C<$itemnumber> is the book's item number.
C<$borrowernumber> is the borrower number of the patron who currently
has the book on loan.
C<$amount> is the current amount owed by the patron.
C<$type> will be used in the description of the fine.
C<$description> is a string that must be present in the description of
the fine. I think this is expected to be a date in DD/MM/YYYY format.
C<&UpdateFine> looks up the amount currently owed on the given item
and sets it to C<$amount>, creating, if necessary, a new entry in the
accountlines table of the Koha database.

Looks up a patron by borrower number.

from the borrowers and categories tables of the Koha database. Thus,
C<$borrower> contains all information about both the borrower and
category he or she belongs to.
