Two new settings have been added to prevent library staff from accidentally clearing all patron bills by scanning a barcode into the Payment Amount field, or accidentally entering the amount without a decimal point (such as you would when using a cash register).

Both settings are available via the Library Settings Editor. The Payment amount threshold for Are You Sure? dialog (ui.circ.billing.amount_warn) setting identifies the amount above which staff will be asked if they’re sure they want to apply the payment. The Maximum payment amount allowed (ui.circ.billing.amount_limit) setting identifies the maximum amount of money that can be accepted through the staff client.

These settings only affect the staff client, not credit cards accepted through the public catalog, or direct API calls from third party tools.
