--- Comment #3 from Theodoros Theodoropoulos <theod at lib.auth.gr> ---
Another advantage of the 'separate columns for Branch/Barcode in fines'
approach would be that instead of branch CODE, the branch NAME could be
displayed in the separate "Branch" column (as it happens with other
item-related tables) which is more clear to staff librarians.

Of course, similarly due date could be a separate column in the fines table!

So to wrap the whole idea up: My proposal for the long run would be something
like:

Fines & charges | Description | Barcode | Due Date | Branch | Payment note |
Account type | Notify id | Level | Amount | Amount outstanding

(The table seems to hold too much information to fit into the screen, but
description is no longer required to be that long!)


Having said that, the disadvantage of this approach is that not ALL fines are
related to items, in which case Barcode and Due Date columns will be empty. If
this is acceptable and you're willing to make the change in the database schema
of the accountlines table, I think it would be fairly easy to implement and
would worth the time and effort...
