http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=6233 Bug #: 6233 Summary: Cannot place holds on items with a status of on-hold if AllowOnShelfHolds is switched off. Classification: Unclassified Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: rel_3_2 Platform: PC OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 Component: Hold requests AssignedTo: ian.walls@bywatersolutions.com ReportedBy: janet.mcgowan@ptfs-europe.com QAContact: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org CC: gmcharlt@gmail.com It is not possible to place holds on items that have a status of ‘on hold’ (are available for collection because they are reserved) if the ‘AllowOnShelfHolds’ preference is set to Do not allow. Switching AllowOnShelfHolds off prevents holds from being placed on items that are not checked out. This also means that holds are prevented from being placed on items that are reserved awaiting collection - these aren't checked out, but they aren't available for borrowing either. There seems to be a similarity with bug-4449 - Cannot place holds on unchecked-out missing items if AllowOnShelfHolds is turned off. A workaround for this might be to check out missing items to a dummy patron (thus allowing holds) but this isn't realistic for items that are sitting on a reservations shelf ready for collection. A greater flexibility is requested so so that even though a system is set to Do not AllowOnShelfHolds, it should be possible for patrons to continue to place holds on items that are awaiting collection, even though they are not checked out. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA Contact for the bug.
