C4::Accounts - Functions for dealing with Koha accounts
use C4::Accounts;
The functions in this module deal with the monetary aspect of Koha, including looking up and modifying the amount of money owed by a patron.
&recordpayment($borrowernumber, $payment);
Record payment by a patron. $borrowernumber is the patron's borrower number. $payment is a floating-point number, giving the amount that was paid.
Amounts owed are paid off oldest first. That is, if the patron has a $1 fine from Feb. 1, another $1 fine from Mar. 1, and makes a payment of $1.50, then the oldest fine will be paid off in full, and $0.50 will be credited to the next one.
&makepayment($borrowernumber, $acctnumber, $amount, $branchcode);
Records the fact that a patron has paid off the entire amount he or she owes.
$borrowernumber is the patron's borrower number. $acctnumber is the account that was credited. $amount is the amount paid (this is only used to record the payment. It is assumed to be equal to the amount owed). $branchcode is the code of the branch where payment was made.
$nextacct = &getnextacctno($borrowernumber);
Returns the next unused account number for the patron with the given borrower number.
&fixaccounts($borrowernumber, $accountnumber, $amount);

}
&manualinvoice($borrowernumber, $itemnumber, $description, $type,
$amount, $user);
$borrowernumber is the patron's borrower number. $description is a description of the transaction. $type may be one of CS, CB, CW, CF, CL, N, L, or REF. $itemnumber is the item involved, if pertinent; otherwise, it should be the empty string.
$amountleft = &fixcredit($borrowernumber, $data, $barcode, $type, $user); This function is only used internally, not exported.
#FIXME : DEPRECATED SUB This subroutine tracks payments and/or credits against fines/charges using the accountoffsets table, which is not used consistently in Koha's fines management, and so is not used in 3.0
