How to "notify author to pay fee"

[biomat]

The Scheduling section (Home > User > Editor > Submissions > #xxx > Editing) contains the message:

Publication Fee not paid. To schedule item for publication notify author to pay fee or waive fee.

and there are two icons to choose from: Payment Received and Waive.

1. Where is the link to notify the author to pay fee? How to send an invoice? How about a reminder link?

2. How can the prepared email requesting payment be used?

Hi Biomat,

A reminder email link doesn't currently exist, but it's a good idea -- I've filed here: http://pkp.sfu.ca/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6584. Please feel free to CC yourself for future updates.

Thank you. What about the part:

notify author to pay fee...

How is that supposed to be done?

Does anyone know:

1. Where is there a link to notify the author to pay fee, or how to send an invoice?

2. How can the prepared email requesting payment be used?

I cannot find any way to do the above within the system and I'm wondering if there is a problem with my installation or if the payment feature is just not quite worked out yet. It seems rather unlikely that there would be a hint to send a message and no way to do so within the system.

Hi Biomat,

I think that is unfortunately a case where the payment system hasn't been fully worked out yet; but I'll ask a developer to confirm this.

Cheers,
James
