[Bug 20575] New: Auto-renewals to use current patron category when renewing as opposed to when item was issued.
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=20575 Bug ID: 20575 Summary: Auto-renewals to use current patron category when renewing as opposed to when item was issued. Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: 17.05 Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Circulation Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: kelly@bywatersolutions.com QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org CC: gmcharlt@gmail.com, kyle.m.hall@gmail.com Increasing the functionality of the Auto=-renewal process to have Koha look at the circulation and fine rule table at time of renewal instead of keeping the same circ and fine rules when the item was issued. If a patron category has been changed during when an item has been checked out the patron, this is not reflected in the auto-renewal process. For example, if a student is allowed to auto renewal items but they are changed to a different patron category who can not auto-renewal-Koha will still allow the auto-renewal given the rules were set when the item was checked out. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

Auto-renewals in academic libraries will need to be based on current patron categories and not the category of a patron when the item was checked out by them. Example: if a student checks out books but then is academically disqualified, we would not want Koha to auto-renew their books even after they are no longer a student. I would imagine that the same could be said for public libraries. Example: if a patron is barred from a library, that library would not want that patron's books to be auto-renewed after their library card has been revoked.

This flag is not revoked by changing the patron category. As the flag can also be manually set on time of circulation, it will be hard to tell when it should be revoked. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=20575 --- Comment #3 from Katrin Fischer <katrin.fischer@bsz-bw.de> --- But if you restrict the patron or if they are expired etc. it will still work. It does use the circulation rule from the current patron - but the flag makes it behave as if the auto renew checkbox was set. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=20575 --- Comment #4 from Katrin Fischer <katrin.fischer@bsz-bw.de> --- I don't think we can resolve this right now as the flag can be set/unset for several reasons (patron doesn't want auto-renewals, manual auto renewal, circulation conditions). Also... libraries might expect different behavior. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=20575 --- Comment #5 from David Cook <dcook@prosentient.com.au> --- Looking at the code in 24.11, and it looks like Koha will only renew if the issue is set to auto_renew and the patron allows auto_renew. That said, the UI is super misleading about this, since it says it is scheduled for automatic renewal... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
