It might only be enforced on GUI side. Jonathan worked on some of this as part
of the move to Koha introducing the authorised_value_category table as a first
step to improve the data structures. Looking at some of this code might be
helpful? Note: In order to translate the code to a description you can use TT
plugins. No needs to pass the descriptions usually - so that might avoid some
of the issue?
