[Koha] Don't allow check in unless dues are cleared.

Maybe the following will suit your needs. There is the Koha system 
preference "FineNotifyAtCheckin" - setting it to "Notify" all books that 
have overdue fines owed on them will pop up a warning when checking them 
in. This warning will need to be acknowledged before you can continue 
checking items in. With this preference set to "Don't notify", you will 
still see fines owed on the patron record, you just won't have an 
additional notification at check in.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes, Michael
