<li><a href="http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=21915">[21915]</a> Add a way to automatically reconcile balance for patrons</li>
</ul>
<blockquote>
<p>Sponsored by ByWater Solutions</p>
<p>In the past, if a patron had any credit existing on their account (newly added, or pre-existing), if debts were present then the credit balance would always be immediately applied to the debt. This functionality was inadvertently removed during refactoring efforts which debuted in 16.11. <br />
This patch adds code to restore the functionality and allows it to be optionally applied to the system via a new system preference, <code>AccountAutoReconcile</code>. <br />
Note: The new preference defaults to the post 16.11 behaviour, if you wish to restore the 16.11 functionality then you will need to update the preference after the upgrade.</p>
