Clearing Fines in Aleph - Food for Fines
Once the Food For Fines blocks have been added in the SMU Local Patron tab, the fine is ready to be cleared in Aleph. Use the following procedure:
- In the Patron tab, click on the ‘Cash’ node. In the ‘Active Cash’ pane, highlight the fine that will be cleared (CTRL + click to highlight more than one), and then click on ‘Waive’. In the ‘Waive Description’ box that pops up, enter the ‘Waive Text’ as ‘FFF-YEAR’ (Food For Fines plus the appropriate year).
- Click on the ‘OK’ button to complete the transaction and the fines will reduce accordingly. Each transaction line must be waived individually, so repeat the process as necessary until the total amount of the donation is reached.
Once the transactions have been completed, place the food in the designated area. Patrons are welcome to donate whether they owe fines or not.
