[Bug 38902] New: Allow holds fine limit (maxoutstanding) to be determined by patron category
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=38902 Bug ID: 38902 Summary: Allow holds fine limit (maxoutstanding) to be determined by patron category Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Hold requests Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: raina@flo.org QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org CC: gmcharlt@gmail.com The system preference “maxoutstanding” is used to determine when patrons are blocked from making holds in the OPAC. For example, maxoutstanding: Prevent patrons from making holds on the OPAC if they owe more than 5 USD in fines. This is separate from the checkout fine limit (noissuescharge). Currently the maxoutstanding preference is applied to all patrons, and there's no way of changing the value for individual patron categories. Bug 28924 enables checkout fine limit to be set by patron category, but there's no way of changing the value for "maxoutstanding" by patron category, which means that all patron groups will still be blocked from placing holds in the OPAC at the same amount. It would be helpful to be able to determine when patrons should be blocked from making holds in the OPAC by patron category, like bug 28924 does for the checkout fine limit. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

We like that we can overide noissuescharge by patron category now but it becomes difficult to explain to customers and staff when applied and why this override doesn't also apply to holds like it does loans. Creating an override for maxoutstanding by patron category would resolve this issue. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. You are watching all bug changes.
