I've seen this, too.

We got a report of a patron returning a copy owned by a different library in the consortium at his home library that had gone to lost. The billing was not voided even though the copy was checked in and the void lost billing on checkin setting is on for all of our members.

I did some experimentation with this patron's other checkouts. He had items from other libraries as well as his own. The billings were only voided when the copy was checked in first at the library that owns the copy (the copy.circ_lib). That is lost billings were voided when I checked in the copies from his home library at his home library. When logged in as his home library, the billings were not voided on copies owned by other libraries.

If I logged out and logged in as a library that owned the copy, and checked it in to complete the transit, the lost billing was still not voided.

If I checked a copy out to the patron from a library other than his home library, the billing was only voided when I logged in as the library that owns the copy and did the first checkin there.

Hope that makes sense.
