http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=5211 --- Comment #6 from Ian Walls <ian.walls@bywatersolutions.com> 2011-12-03 14:13:19 UTC --- Paul, I've asked this to be done based on requests from NEKLS and VOKAL (two of ByWater's large consortia). When bug 5533 was incorporated, it changed the semantics of the various "lost" statuses. Before, certain values would do different things, depending on what triggered them. Some libraries like this, and came to depend on it. In my opinion, an Authorized Value shouldn't be any more than a label on it's own; there is not mechanism for defining any additional actions or meaning at the AV level. But, marking something as "lost" is more than just labeling it. As of right now, it means always charging the patron for the material and sometimes returning it (if it's checked out). This patch will allow for us to sometimes charge and sometimes return. Right now, there is no change in functionality with this patch, but this opens those doors for us down the road. -- 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.
