Yes, I see no reason why that would be different if an item was at a remote location. It would still have an item effective location in FOLIO, so you would define the expected fine behavior based on knowing that
that effective location was offsite, and how your library wants it to behave.
I do wonder if there are libraries out there where the holdings permanent location might be the onsite library, and the item effective location might be the remote location, for items that they’ve moved offsite.
But regardless, as long as it’s documented, I think you should be able to build the fee/fine owner structure to meet your needs.

Thanks, Erin. I see now why effective location won’t work for this.
Question: when something is in remote storage, should the overdue fine be “owned” by the remote storage location?

Yes, David - you can have one fee-fine owner that controls all of your service points. So your centralized model would work.
As far as I know, there is no FOLIO constraint on being able to accept payment for only certain service points. But I could be wrong on that.

This doesn’t impact Chicago, as all of our bills are “owned” centrally, so I defer to others.
That having been said, I think holdings permanent location is likely to be correct in most cases. I can certainly imagine a scenario in which there could be a permanent item location that would be correct instead, but those are likely to
be extreme outliers.
Ultimately, I imagine libraries would eventually want the ability to edit the fee owner manually to correct any of these outliers, but I don’t think that would be a high priority.
Again, I would ultimately defer to others for whom this is an actual issue, as Chicago doesn’t track this. What does matter is whether we can set the owner to be the same for all bills, or can allow payments of all bills at service points
regardless of fee owner. As long as we can ignore fee owner, we’re fine.
Best,
David
