--- Comment #2 from Theodoros Theodoropoulos <theod at lib.auth.gr> ---
Thank you Alex and Sophie, this would indeed come very handy to our Koha
installation.

However, in the long term, (especially if this is to be used the whole
community), I think it would be far better if separate columns were created in
the accountlines table to hold (at least) the branchcode and/or the item
barcode[1]. 

In the same context, an ideal situation would be if branchcode/barcode would be
displayed in separate columns in the fines table (and not concatenated in the
description).
This way description text would not be unnecessarily long and would not include
hardcoded "Branch" and "Barcode" strings (which instead would be shown as
translatable table headers in the fines table).

Just as food for thought :)

[1] if you don't want to keep barcodes both in items and accountlines table
(also useful if barcode was changed in the meantime), it could be dynamically
read during fines display (using itemnumber as key)
