https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=28530 Bug ID: 28530 Summary: Allow configuration of floating limits by item type Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: master Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Circulation Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: andrew@bywatersolutions.com QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org CC: gmcharlt@gmail.com, kyle.m.hall@gmail.com When return policy is set to Item Floats, it's possible for patron usage patterns to result in an imbalance in the collection -- more DVDs end up at Branch A and more books at Branch B. This can be especially troublesome when a given branch has limited shelving for a specific item type. I'd like to see a mechanism by which libraries can define a maximum count of items per item type to be allowed to float at a given branch. So, following my example above, Branch A could say that DVDs float when checked in but only up to 1000 items. If a DVD is checked in at Branch A and would be the 1001st DVD there, it instead transfers away. When some DVDs get checked out or transferred away, new returns will again be allowed to remain at Branch A. Setting the float limit to zero for a given item type and branch would make that item type always transfer away from that branch. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
