Our library has very generous allowances for both checkouts & holds on patron accounts. This can sometimes come into conflict with Sierra's seemingly arbitrary system limits. For example, when these items go unreturned & result in replacement charges, which then cannot be added because of the imposed limits. Like my waist can no longer accommodate 32" pants, Sierra cannot currently accommodate the lending policies taken advantage of by some of our more active borrowers.

I'm sure there are other examples where these limits can manifest, but attached is an example message recently seen by staff which reads:

CANNOT ADD FINE TO RECORD. SYSTEM MAX EXCEEDED. WAIVE CHARGE?

We don't want staff forced into waiving a legitimate charge, but have no choice with these limits, so we'd like to see them increased or eliminated.
