Web Client: Payment Received on Bills, Payment receipt

[Terran McCanna]

In 3.0.2:

Some of our libraries were using "Payment Received" in the xul client on the bill payment receipt template and that does not appear to be available in the web client print templates. Scan attached of how they use it to display the amount of money taken and change given.

[Garry Collum (gcollum)]

"Payment Received" is available on the bill payment receipt in current master and is working properly.

Fixed as part of a different bug patch - marked 'Fixed Released' here. Thanks Garry!

Terran, Garry:

In my templates, I have been using {{payment_total}}. Is this the correct field, or should I be using another one?

[Terran McCanna (tmccanna)]

John -

There is {{payment_total}} and {{payment_applied}} - to be honest, I'm not entirely certain of the difference. Perhaps payment_total would include payments above the bills if patron credit is allowed? (We don't allow patron credit in PINES.) We use payment_applied in our receipts.

[John Amundson (jamundson)]

Thanks, Tarren. I did a little testing. I had a bill of 9.04 and submitted a payment of 10.00. (Note that we also do not use Patron Credit). Here is the resulting receipt:

Original Balance: $9.04
Payment Method: Cash
Payment Received: $10.00 {{payment_total}}
Payment Applied: $9.04 {{payment_applied}}
Billings Voided: $0.00
Change Given: $0.96
New Balance: $0.00

So it looks like payment_total can be used to display the amount given to staff, and payment_applied is the amount actually applied to the bill, and the difference is {{change_given}}.

We do not use Patron Credit and we also have the library setting turned on to prohibit negative balances, (not sure if this came into play). The 0.96 change does not appear anywhere on the patron record after the payment.

Thanks John, that makes sense. We don't put the change given amount on our receipts, but it's nice to know that we could if we wanted to!
