https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=38062 Bug ID: 38062 Summary: If not using RecordLocalUseOnReturn, "Return" statistic is recorded regardless of whether item was checked out in the first place Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: Main Hardware: All OS: All Status: In Discussion Severity: normal Priority: P5 - low Component: Database Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: emily.lamancusa@montgomerycountymd.gov QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org Checking in a book will always add a "return" stat to the statistics table, even if the book was not checked out in the first place. The only exception is if a "localuse" stat is recorded instead (when RecordLocalUseOnReturn is enabled). It seems to me that a return should only be recorded if the item was actually checked out in the first place. This has been the behavior for a while, though, so we should get feedback from libraries before changing it. One thing that has been mentioned is that the "return" statistic can be useful for capturing things like an item being scanned to fill an on-shelf hold. Should we make a new statistics type for local handling like that, which some libraries might want to track but others might not want to count as a circulation stat? Use action_logs to track that sort of thing instead? See also bug 9717 for a similar discussion regarding the "localuse" stat -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
