--- Comment #887 from Marcel de Rooy <m.de.rooy at rijksmuseum.nl> ---
Still posting two observations from a functional view without any need to
address them here btw.

Functionally, it is a bit confusing that the recall overdue fine amount is so
close in the interface to the number of recalls allowed, due date interval,
etc. Because it is actually a fine that will not be placed on the person doing
the recall but on the patron that loaned the book (and might be in another
patron category). So when you enable recalls for a category and you want to
have a non-regular overdue fine, you should fill all recall fines on the other
categories as well. Maybe something for documentation ?

Another functional remark is that the recalls feature currently does not
support policies like we have for holds (e.g. you cannot place recalls on items
of another branch etc.). Certainly not meant as a blocker at this moment. But I
feel that the need to refine circulation rules at that level will be felt soon
by multiple branch libraries. You cannot really introduce recalls for one
branch now, since the members of that branch can place recalls on books of the
other branches. This may need further thought on follow-up reports.
