This policy applies to the implementation considerations and system configuration required for exchanging user fine/fee data with a campus bursar system.
III. Bursar Export
This is the native bursar export provided by Ex Libris. With this option, fines and fees are closed in Alma. This option is best if your library does not intend to restrict library use for balances owed, and does not wish to accept fines in the library. If TOU restrict permissions based on fine balance owed, those restrictions would not take effect, as fine balances are closed out once they are exported to the bursar's office.
III. Ex Libris Designed Solution
Christian Ward (Sacramento) noted that Ex Libris has created a fines / fees payment integration with a vendor through the UK (see documentation here), who only accepts payments in pounds (see Administration > General Configuration > Integration Profiles > Payment). It was suggested that we press Ex Libris to develop a solution using CashNet directly, as many universities in the US use this vendor, and it would be benefit to a number of institutions.
Current export of fines and fees information integration closes fines and fees in Alma. Would like Ex Libris to provide an option to export fines and fees to third party system while keeping the fine information open and active in the user's account.
