[Koha] Fwd: Managing fines in a consortial environment

Oof.

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 --
