Shellie,

Thanks!  I made those changes so hopefully everything will work right tonight.

Hi Tammy,

Set the days after due date to zero (0).

The Overdue and Lost Loan Job runs daily at 11:00pm, so as long as the item is due before 11pm, the notice will go out that night.

Your Overdue and Lost Loan policies are set to use "open days" rather than  just "days."  This explains why the summer session notices did not go out until you were open again after the break.

I am having a problem with overdue notices being sent a day late.  For example, a student laptop was due 9/25/17 at 21:00 but the overdue notice was not sent until 9/26/17 at 23:00.  If I change the Overdue and Lost Loan Profile Record to 0 days after due date, will the overdue notice go out the same night something becomes overdue - or will it prevent overdue notices from going out at all?

Also, overdue and lost notices for items due the last day of summer session were not sent out until school started again in September.  The library was closed that whole time.  The notices should have gone out the week after summer quarter ended.  Any ideas?
