Bug Description
An item is checked out to a patron long enough for it to go into Lost status. Patron returns the item in such a way that requires staff to back date.
Here are two scenarios:
Item is in lost status. Item's last overdue fine was registered 9/2/17
Example 1: item is backdated to 9/5/17. Lost and processing is reversed as desired. Patron still owes all overdue fines. System working as intended.
Example 2: item is backdated to 8/31/17. Lost and processing is reversed as desired. Patron SHOULD owe fines up to 8/31/17. What happens is the system reverses all overdue fines, so the patron owes nothing on the item.
#2 issue reported two times over the past year. Confirmed behavior in 2.12 and 3.0.

Just came across this today in 3.0.
Had an item that was lost be checked in and only backdated 1 day, but because the lump of billings had a timestamp of today, they were all removed. (Had a lump payment applied to counter them).
I think that create billing needs to take into account the backdate when it's creating that lump bill.
