http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=6151 Bug #: 6151 Summary: IndependantBranches and HomeOrHoldingBranchReturn can prevent items from being checked in Classification: Unclassified Change sponsored?: Sponsored Product: Koha Version: rel_3_4 Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: ASSIGNED Severity: major Priority: P5 Component: Circulation AssignedTo: ian.walls@bywatersolutions.com ReportedBy: ian.walls@bywatersolutions.com QAContact: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org CC: gmcharlt@gmail.com If IndependantBranches is on, and an item is checked into a branch that is not it's current HomeOrHoldBranchReturn branch, a "Wrong Branch" message is given, and the return is denied. This is not always desirable behaviour. For example, some libraries may want an item owned by Branch A but issued from Branch B to be returnable to either A or B (the patron returning the material to A saves the library transit costs), or even to be returnable to Library C if the transit network is robust. More heinous a problem, if an item is issued from Library B, and HomeOrHoldingBranchReturn is set to Homebranch, the patron cannot return the item to Library B. And further, when AutomaticItemReturn is turned on and HomeOrHoldingBranchReturn is HoldingBranch, an item issued from Library B and returned to Library B will not trigger a transfer message to return it to Library A. So, with the two above, if HomeOrHoldingBranchReturn is considered the only adjustable variable (since changing IndependantBranches has many, many consequences, and AutomaticItemReturn is a library policy decision), neither setting will allow for desirable behaviour. -- 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.
