34 C4::Circulation::Fines - Koha module dealing with fines
38 use C4::Circulation::Fines;
42 This module contains several functions for dealing with fines for
43 overdue items. It is primarily used by the 'misc/fines2.pl' script.
52 @EXPORT = qw(&Getoverdues &CalcFine &BorType &UpdateFine &ReplacementCost);
56 ($count, $overdues) = &Getoverdues();
58 Returns the list of all overdue books.
60 C<$count> is the number of elements in C<@{$overdues}>.
62 C<$overdues> is a reference-to-array. Each element is a
63 reference-to-hash whose keys are the fields of the issues table in the

70 my $sth=$dbh->prepare("Select * from issues where date_due < now() and returndate is NULL order by borrowernumber");

75 while (my $data=$sth->fetchrow_hashref){
85 ($amount, $chargename, $message) =
86 &CalcFine($itemnumber, $borrowercode, $days_overdue);
88 Calculates the fine for a book.
90 The issuingrules table in the Koha database is a fine matrix, listing
91 the penalties for each type of patron for each type of item and each branch (e.g., the
92 standard fine for books might be $0.50, but $1.50 for DVDs, or staff
93 members might get a longer grace period between the first and second
94 reminders that a book is overdue).
96 The fine is calculated as follows: if it is time for the first
97 reminder, the fine is the value listed for the given (branch, item type,
98 borrower code) combination. If it is time for the second reminder, the
99 fine is doubled. Finally, if it is time to send the account to a
100 collection agency, the fine is set to 5 local monetary units (a really
101 good deal for the patron if the library is in Italy). Otherwise, the
104 Note that the way this function is currently implemented, it only
105 returns a nonzero value on the notable days listed above. That is, if
106 the issuingruless entry says to send a first reminder 7 days after the
107 book is due, then if you call C<&CalcFine> 7 days after the book is
108 due, it will give a nonzero fine. If you call C<&CalcFine> the next
109 day, however, it will say that the fine is 0.
111 C<$itemnumber> is the book's item number.
113 C<$borrowercode> is the borrower code of the patron who currently has
116 C<$days_overdue> is the number of days elapsed since the book's due
119 C<&CalcFine> returns a list of three values:
121 C<$amount> is the fine owed by the patron (see above).
123 C<$chargename> is the chargename field from the applicable record in
124 the issuingrules table, whatever that is.
126 C<$message> is a text message, either "First Notice", "Second Notice",

136 # The reason this query is so messy is that it's a messy question:

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

295 from the borrowers and categories tables of the Koha database. Thus,
