Changing an item to damaged in patron services
If we could change the status of the item to damaged on the patrons account (like you can to lost) then the fee would appear - it would save many steps.

Make Author available in Ful Fines\Fees Notification Letter
"Author" is available in some other letters, like the Courtesy Letter, so it seems like it should be available in the Fines/Fees letter and anywhere the item title is available.
"Title" is helpful, but often not distinctive, and often does not contain the author (in 245 $c) depending on cataloging practices.
Initially reported via case 06662985; closed and redirected to enhancement request.

Disputed fine to trigger a task
It would be good if Alma could trigger a task or notice to staff or supervisors responsible for dealing with disputed fines when public service staff mark a fine as such.

The "Fines and Fees Report" under Fulfillment
Put in a date range too far back and "Fines and Fees" informs you that "From date is limited to 7 days before the current date."
Except...
Say it's January 13th. Well, Last time I checked, January 6th is seven days before January 13th...
But in reality, "Fines and Fees" will only let you go back to January 7th, because for some reason it assumes the day you're running it on is also part of that seven days.
That's just dumb.
Either the warning message needs to be more accurate...or it needs to actually go back seven days. I'd prefer…

Ability to edit fines and fees report "Received By" location
We have circulation desk operators perform shift duties with different locations. We would like the ability to edit "Received By" location library in fines and fees report, just in case the operator forget to change location when receiving overdue fines.

Fine and Fees notification email
We would like the ability for a user to be notified and sent an email of the fees that they have when they come in to the library. This is done currently through a job that runs daily or weekly, but we also want the ability to send it to just one person.

Progressive overdue fine calculation in Fulfillment
The existing overdue fine settings in Alma Term of Use (TOU) can only allow library to set a 'flat' rate for fine. (e.g. $1 per day for the whole overdue period). It would be great if Alma can allow progressive overdue fine setting (e.g. $1 per first 3 days and $2 thereafter).
This suggestion allows greater flexibility in fine setting and also encourage patrons to return overdue items earlier.
