Grocery Bills are manually applied charged. Staff can charge patrons for copies, lost cards, out-of-county feees, and more by clicking the "Bill Patron" button in a patron's account. The sub-types available are set by the library. 

All manually applied bills in Evergreen are listed under the Billing Type "Grocery."

2. Click the button labeled "Bill Patron" just above the grid of current bills.

The new charge will show up in the current bills grid. The "Type" column will indicate "grocery" and the Last Billing Type column will indicate the specific sub-type you selected when applying the bill.
