Hi Cab, We don't have a formal policy about this yet, but the library that collects the fine, keeps the fine without worrying about sending part of the money to another site. Lost item replacements are a different matter and that money goes to the library that owns the lost item. Overdue fines just stay at the library that collected it.

We're part of a 3-library Koha consortium and technically each library is supposed to only deal with fines pertaining to its own items. But the Fines detail page is less than helpful when it comes to figuring out to which library fines are owed. (Staff have to look at each item individually.) Do other Koha consortia have best practices for dealing with fines when dealing with multiple libraries (vs. branches of the same library system)? What improvements would you suggest? It seems like this would be an area where consensus would be a good thing to have before submitting bug reports, feature requests, etc. FWIW, the only related bug I've found is this one -- http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=9975 Thanks, Cab Vinton, Director Plaistow Public Library Plaistow, NH & Southern NH Library Cooperative _______________________________________________ Koha mailing list http://koha-community.org Koha@lists.katipo.co.nz http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha _______________________________________________ Koha mailing list http://koha-community.org Koha@lists.katipo.co.nz http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha _______________________________________________ Koha mailing list http://koha-community.org Koha@lists.katipo.co.nz http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha
