https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=15261 --- Comment #26 from Marcel de Rooy <m.de.rooy@rijksmuseum.nl> --- (In reply to Julian Maurice from comment #24) Thx for your response.
Let's take an example: - Patron 1 place a hold that starts on 2016-03-01 and ends on 2016-03-07 - Patron 2 place a hold that starts on 2016-03-02 and ends on 2016-03-06 If patron 1 get the book, patron 2 will never have it (unless patron 1 returns the book very quickly, which is very unlikely to happen imo) and is never informed about the high probability that this will happen. "Unlikely to happen imo " is the problem here. As a special library we loan the book and it will normally be returned the same day. (The book does not really leave the building.)
Another issue: - Patron 1 place a hold that starts on 2016-03-02 and ends on 2016-03-08 - Patron 2 place a hold (after patron 1 has placed their hold) that starts on 2016-03-01 (we don't care about the end date here) If priority is based on start date, then patron 2 will "steal" the book from patron 1. Patron 1 will never get the book while they have placed their hold first. No. Patron2 may receive the book before patron1. That is no problem. Patron1 will probably have it the next day.
