Set default payment type for circulation desk
We would like the ability to set default payment options for our circulation desks. We currently use the cash option for our student campus payment system since we do not have the ability to add custom payment types and we do not actually accept cash anymore so we use that but cash is showing as the "default" option from the payment area and most of our payments are credit card so we would like to set credit card as the default payment option.

account or book alarms
we often invoice customers for lost items only for them to return it without notifying a member of staff, meaning we have to keep checking either the book or the account to see if the books have been returned prompting us to cancel any invoices - it would be great if we could add an alarm to an account or book to notify us when a book has been returned...I envisage adding the ALARM to a BOOK or ACCOUNT when ever setting up blocks/fees associated with the account.

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.

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.

Send ALMA notification when fines are waived
It would be helpful if ALMA can send a patron an email notification when fines are forgiven. ALMA is very good at communicating all other transactions, especially when a patron has generated a fine. However, when staff forgive fines in ALMA, there should be an easy way for staff to communicate with patrons. Currently, our preferred method is to directly email patrons and this reduces patron confusion on their end. Thank you! From a Circulation Manager
