Information in italics is intended to provide guidance while writing documentation and in general should be removed when a doc is at a v.1 stage.
The italics are suggestions to help guide what might go in a particular section. If you feel a section does not apply to the app or feature, please keep the section but just add that it does not apply.
If you feel it makes more sense for your documentation, you can move sections up and down.

Given that fee/fine owners are not directly connected to locations in configuration, it can be confusing to understand how fines accrue to an ownera fee/fine owner, since most libraries will want it to accrue based on the item's location.
- When an item circulates, it does so through the FOLIO circulation rules. If a fine should be charged if the item is not returned on time, it would need to be included in the circulation rule as an overdue and/or lost item policy.
- The item that circulates has an effective location when it is loaned to the patron.
- The fine is charged / accrued based on the effective location of the item that is loaned, even if the location tree is not one of the criteria in the circulation rule, or the effective location is not where the item was borrowed from.
Conceptually, even Even though a service point is not located in the circulation rules, it still connects back to the fee/fine accrues back to the correct owner, through the following logic:

Describe and include any permanent links such as a link structure to records, searches, etc
Most libraries will want to use this setting as part of integrations with reporting and external payment systems (like the University Bursar, or PCI credit card payment sites.) The project intends to produce a global export file of fine information, but individual institutions would need to customize that export themselves, for their own requirements.
