Disable Patron Credit in Billing Interface

The Library Setting, Disable Patron Credit, allows staff to disable the Patron Credit payment type and to hide patron credit payment actions within the billing interface of a patron’s account.

By default, the payment type Patron Credit is enabled in the staff client. Within the Bills interface of a patron’s account, the Patron Credit payment type, the Credit Available, and the option to Convert Change to Patron Credit are exposed by default in the staff client.
