           Summary: inventory checks items in without warning
    Classification: Unclassified

           Product: Koha
           Version: 3.10
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major

I got this via email:

----------

This is my first time doing inventory in KOHA at our high school. I've done it
at our middle school before but we always cut off book circulation before doing
inventory. At the high school, our collection is so large that we have to do
inventory earlier and need to continue circulating through the process. We
started the process fine but ran into a problem today when I was uploading our
fiction barcodes into KOHA to see the dates last seen. When I uploaded them
into the Inventory/Stocktaking area, I got a list of barcodes with the message
"item was on loan. It was returned before marked as seen." When I looked up the
barcodes, they were all books that were checked out during the day today. When
I went back into those patron accts, their checkouts had been erased.

----------

So, I think the problem here is that there is no warning or way to tell Koha to
not check the items in, it just checks them in and that's that.  We need the
inventory tool to either ask before running if it should check things in (an
enhancement) or we need a warning saying that it will check things in (a temp
fix for the bug).
