Library Fine payment settlement in Finance

Choose the receiving account and save the Library receipt and balanced Finance journal together; retries and reversals preserve the audit trail.

Record and settle a Library fine payment

Open General → Library → Fines, select an unpaid fine and choose Record payment. The income account is Library Fine. Choose the cash or bank account that received the money under Received in account, then enter the amount and date and record the payment.

Only receiving accounts permitted for your login appear. If none appear, ask your administrator to check your Finance cash account access. A fine must belong to an active campus so its journal appears in Finance; if its campus is missing or inactive, ask your administrator to review it before taking payment. The payment saves one Library receipt and a balanced Finance journal together. If Finance refuses the save, neither the receipt nor the paid balance changes.

Check the receipt and Finance

Open Receipts for the fine. Its Finance column names the journal. Check that journal in Finance → Journal Inquiry or the Library Fine account ledger: the receiving account is debited and Library Fine income is credited by the exact amount received. Fine payments are separate from fee challans.

Retry an uncertain save

Use Retry this payment and show its receipt. The amount, date, notes and receiving account stay fixed, and the retry returns the same receipt and journal. Before starting a different payment, check Receipts. An older saved attempt without a receiving account must also be checked before starting again.

Void a wrong receipt

Choose Void in Receipts and give the reason. For a linked Finance journal, the receipt is marked void and a reversing journal is saved together. Both the original receipt and journal remain on record. You must still have access to the receiving account. A separately posted older receipt must be reversed through Finance.

Older receipts

Older receipts keep their previous posting status. A receipt marked Not posted is not automatically posted again. Ask the Finance administrator to review the receipt and account ledger before making a separate adjustment, so money already recorded is not counted twice. Existing opening balances and unrelated accounts remain unchanged.
