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
