           Summary: After MTT gather_print_notices includes overdues
 Change sponsored?: ---
           Product: Koha
           Version: 3.16
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal

After the inclusion of MTT in 3.16, the gather_print_notices is no longer
restricted to print holds notices; it now also includes the print overdues as
well. I have not tested, but suspect it would now include any notice with
transport type of 'print'.

There are a couple of options for dealing with this. 

1) If this is the new post-MTT *intended* behavior, then the documentation
should be updated to reflect the broader coverage of gather_print_notices, and
the output file should no longer start with 'holdnotices-', but should be
something more generic, e.g. 'notices-'. Optionally, could modify cronjob to
split notices into files reflecting their type, e.g. 'holdnotices-',
'overduenotices-', 'preduenotices-', etc.

2) Revert the script back to only dealing with holds notices. 


There are currently bugs in place to address the issue of print overdues no
longer being emailed to the library, as well as a bug to allow
gather_print_notices to email the output file. This bug fix should take work on
those bugs into consideration.
