The June 2018 Release includes a new option: You can now import files from a bursar system to update Alma on the transactions that were exported from Alma to the bursar system.

This is very important. Currently, if a patron pays to replace an item, we have no way of knowing it was paid for and the item remains checked out on the patron account.
Also, not being able to tell in Alma that a fine has been paid adds an extra burden to the people who can check our bursar service and it inconveniences our patrons.

Currently sending fine the the bursars office remove it from Alma - it would be nice to update the Alma patron record to show the fine had been paid.
