Alma supports both automatically generated charges and manually added charges.

Automatic fines and fees include:

  • Lost Item Replacement Fee

  • Lost Item Process Fee

  • Recall Overdue Fee

  • Overdue Fines (for short loans)

Manual fines, fees, and credits can also be assigned for the above categories, as well as a Damaged Item Fee or a Credit. Manual fines and fees should always be associated with an item barcode, if possible.

For each fine or fee, Alma records information including Creation Date, Status (Active, Closed, In Dispute), Status Date, Comment (if added), Fee Owner, Title, Barcode, Original Amount, and Remaining Balance. Alma also records details related to the payment of fines and fees; this can be viewed from the Fines and fees tab of the patron record by clicking on the amount hypertext link of closed transactions.
