My comment from 8338:
My personal preference is to leave the 0 fine as part of the 'paper trail' for
Koha's accounting system. I would not be opposed to option 2. We could add new
'states' for 'Dropboxed', 'Backdated return' and 'Fine forgiven' if we build it
on top of bug 22512.

So, I'm in favor of 'record a writeoff'.
