ZFL 

ZFL-Server is an automated ILL service available to libraries in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.

    • At this time, you may only specify one OCLC library identifier. WMS will only accept title identifiers from one union catalog for processing ZFL lending requests.

  9. Determine whether to automatically bill a patron who has created a new borrowing request by selecting Yes for Patron Fees. 
    1. Complete the policy mapping table to specify the bill reason and fee amount by patron type.
      • When ZFL instructs WMS to create a patron hold request, the system will evaluate the rows in the map in this order until a match is found:

        2. Left to right (settings in rows)
          1. Top to bottom (rows)
          2. Left to right (settings in rows)
      • When the system comes to the row that matches the requesting patron's current patron type, it will attempt to create a bill using the bill reason and amount specified in the table and will not continue to the next row.
      • The patron will not be billed for a ZFL request if patron billing is currently disabled, if no match is found in the mapping table, or the amount specified in the mapping table is 0.00. 
      • When configuring the Patron Fees map, it is recommended to:
        1. Create entries for specific patron types at the top of the map.
        2. Have a row at the bottom of the map to cover all other patron types, if needed.
      •   Note: The system will determine if a patron should be billed for a ZFL request when the ZFL-Server submits a SLNPFLBestellung PFL messages to WMS. Patrons with existing PFL requests will not be billed retroactively after your library enables the Patron Fees option. In the same way, existing bills for PFL requests will not be updated or cancelled if your library disables patron billing.
