Credit Reason Wizard

In SirsiDynix Symphony, users may have money credited to an account by a library staff member at a workstation. Each time a user account is credited, a credit reason is recorded with the transaction. This credit reason indicates the purpose of the credit. Recording the reason for a credit can prove useful to both the library staff member and the SirsiDynix Symphony administrator to determine why a credit was created, such as refund credit or deposit credit.

Using the Credit Reason wizard, you can define Credit Reason policies. The following Credit Reason policies are delivered.

After selecting the Credit Reason wizard, from the List Policies window, you can create, display, modify, copy, or remove the Credit Reason policies. Click Close to exit the wizard.
