Bill Refund Confirmation (POS)
Use this template to configure a point of sale (POS) printing notification to confirm that a refund has been processed for a paid bill. The POS Bill Refund Confirmation cannot be enabled until the template is complete.
The Bill Refund Confirmation template configured under Next-Generation Notifications > Templates > Point of sale (POS) printing is for POS only. For the email/Network Print template, see Bill Refund Confirmation.
No notification scheduling is used for this template, and only a single template can be configured for this notification type per institution (one each for Network Printing and POS).
Caution: When a library enables a Next-Generation Notification, its corresponding legacy notification(s) will be disabled (if they had previously been enabled). For Group Aware libraries, OCLC recommends coordinating a single rollout window for Next-Generation Notifications across the consortium to avoid patrons experiencing mixed notification experiences when borrowing from multiple libraries.
