Purpose
A Fee/fine owner in FOLIO is the agent(s) or office(s) that manages fines for FOLIO transactions. Fee/fine owners collect fees/fines for FOLIO service points.
...
Given that fee/fine owners are not directly connected to locations in configuration, it can be confusing to understand how overdue fines accrue to a fee/fine owner, since most libraries will want it to accrue based on the item's location.
...
Even though a service point is not located in the circulation rules, it an overdue fine still connects back to the fee/fine owner, through the following logic:
- Item effective location → primary service point for the effective location → Fee/fine owner for that service point.
The development of fine accrual for lost item fines is still under development.

...
There is no personally identifying information in this area of FOLIO, unless a library chooses to include it.
Integrations
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.
