I took a pass at adding this field but I'm not sure if it will work; I didn't test on a sandbox instance. One question I had: the values of accountlines.payment_type come from the PAYMENT_TYPE authorized values. Should the report show the field's literal value (the code) or its (more readable) associated Description? I lean towards showing literal values as they tend to be more consistent over time but I'm not sure if there's a standardized approach for Koha.

I would say for an inbuilt report like this one then translating codes to descriptions is the preferred approach.. however this is a great start.

Just to note, however, I am currently considering a patch to merge payment_type into credit_types as I'm not sure that having two levels of 'type' makes sense now that we have a clearer distinction between 'credit' and 'debit' lines.

I'd be interested in feedback for that approach.. are there really times when one would want `pay` + `cash` or `credit` + `beans` vs just having `cash`, `card` and `beans` as a top-level credit type?

Ah OK I will hold off working on this then. For what it's worth, I agree that the payment type/credit type setup seems redundant, but I'll ask our staff what they think about it, too.
