http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=651 Summary: Change the way reserves, 'waiting' status are handled Product: Koha Version: CVS Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: Circulation AssignedTo: chris@katipo.co.nz ReportedBy: oleonard@athenscounty.lib.oh.us QAContact: koha-bugs@lists.sourceforge.net I propose a change to the way reserves are handled by Koha, based on the way our previous system worked. The change would improve reserves-handling for libraries with multiple branches. It would work this way: 1. An item at Branch A is reserved for a patron at Branch B. When the item is returned at Branch A, that copy is marked 'found.' That indicates that the reserve has been fulfilled, but it's not at its destination yet. The book is now sent to Branch B. 2. When the book arrives at Branch B, it is returned again. The system sees that the book is at its 'destination branch,' and marks it as 'waiting.' This indicates that the book has arrived where it is expected by the patron. 3. The patron is notified that his book has arrived, and comes to Branch B to pick it up. When he checks it out, the reserve is marked 'filled,' meaning the process is now complete. For multi-branch libraries, this solves a problem where the system indicates that an item is 'waiting' when it hasn't actually arrived at its destination branch. The interim step 'found' would make it clear that the item was found but was still in transit to its destination. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact.
