:( Nope it doesn't work. I owed $14 on one item and I went to manual credit and put in 10 for a partial payment. It subtracted 10 from my total - but not from what I owe on that one item. Also instead of the barcode it shows the bib number on the account history - which I think I reported a bug about. See attached.

Hello,
It is actually fairly common in tiny community libraries. And as economic conditions deteriorate, it will likely become more so.
Imagine a patron has $20-50 in fines or replacement fees, and wants to check out a book, and the library agrees to let them pay $5 a visit until it is paid off. This is not something new, and various other ILS systems allow this. I would like to see this in the phantom Koha v3.2, whenever that appears.
I think you can already do this, at least you could in 1999 :) And it was still there in version 2.2.5, you went to view account, then chose create a manual credit. Then you entered the amount of the credit. It could be any amount. As you say this a common requirement and something HLT specified when they were working on creating Koha.
And having just checked Koha 3.0 you can still do this, you go to a borrower, check the fines tab, then choose create manual credit.
If you enter a barcode it should take the credit off the charge associated with that item.
Hope this helps
