[Koha-devel] Account types in Koha

[Ryan Higgins]

The only account types that are exposed to the interface or any 3.x - ready
scripts are these:

C= credit
FFOR=forgiven
W=writeoff
F= overdue fine
FU= overdue, still acccruing
PAY = payment
A = acc't management fee
M=Sundry
L= Lost Item
N= New Card

I think any other codes that are found in the code should be considered
vestigial
and not part of Koha proper.

The writeoff account type hopefully won't be seen anywhere, as the writeoff
code should be commented out.

I very strongly suggest that credits and charges be separated into separate
tables with
unique keys as the first step in any fines work.
