Product-related details for fines

• Follett Destiny® Library Manager  Destiny calculates overdue fine amounts based on patron and circulation types.
• Follett Destiny® Textbook Manager The fine amount for lost copies is the replacement price or, if there is no replacement price in the title record, the purchase price of the copy. For overdue copies, the check-in staff enters the amount.
• Follett Destiny® Resource Manager  Fines are calculated based on the calculation method defined on the Manage Fine Types page. See Manage fine types. The % of Cost uses the replacement price in the resource title, or the purchase price in the item; this is dependent on the selections made in Site Configuration.
