Some libraries have found that Koha doesn't work well with some external services like SHAREit that utilize z39.50 to get information about a record and its' items.

a) We propose to add field 'status' to items table ( this field can be mapped to whatever MARC tag you wish )

b) Engineer a subroutine that would generate the item's status

The precedence for status would be as follows:
1) Checked Out
2) Lost
3) Not for Loan
4) Damaged
5) On Hold ( In Transit )
6) In Transit
7) On Hold

This status could eventually be used within Koha to simplify our status display logic, but that is outside the immediate scope of this enhancement.
