Checking in a not checked out item returns an error (which is correct) without giving a reason for the failure as screen_msg (aka AF field in SIP2) is empty.

Checkin in koha SIP is generally quite sparse when it comes to error handling and reasons for the failure of the checkin. Most times no screen_msg is filled which makes it hard for the self service terminal to display an understandable reason to the patron for the failure.

In this case I suggest to insert in SIP::ILS Checkin around row 183 right after
$circ->ok($item && $item->{patron});

if (!defined($item->{patron})) {
  $circ->screen_msg("Item  not checked out");
} else {
[rest of the transaction part]
}
