The Paying Bills Wizard is used to accept payment for current charges. You can apply payment to the total amount owed or to specific individual bills.
Method 1: Paying the Total Amount Owed
- From the CIRC toolbar, click on the Paying Bills wizard.
- Scan the user's barcode or use the User Search Helper to identify the patron.
- To apply payment to the total balance, enter the amount in the Payment field. Include a decimal point (e.g., 5.00), but do not include a dollar sign.
- Choose the Payment Type (e.g., Cash, Check) from the dropdown menu.
- Click Pay Bills. If the amount paid exceeds the total, the system will display the amount owed to the patron in the Change field.
- When the transaction is finished, click Close, Paying Bills (to start a new payment), or Identify User.
Method 2: Paying an Individual Bill
- Find the specific bill the user wishes to pay. Enter the amount in the Payment field located directly next to that specific bill.
- Choose the Payment Type from the dropdown menu.
- Click Pay Bills. The system will calculate any change due in the Change field.
- Click Close or Identify User to complete the session.
Staff Tip: You can also process payments using the Pay Bills Helper found within the Checkout and Display User wizards.
