For example: If an item is an “ILL” the ability to suspend the hold should not
be an option.

Work to be done:

1) Add new field suspend_hold_allowed to the itemtypes table, default of 1
2) Reveal this field though the itemtypes editor
3a ) Create a subroutine that will look up the field value for a given itemtype
3b) Create a subroutine that accepts a reserve and calls the previous sub to
fine the value for this reserve ( based on itype/itemtype )
4) Add a test before suspending for each hold suspension request
5) Add a new TT plugin that uses this subroutine to disable suspend buttons in
the opac
6) Add ability to suspend individual holds in the staff intranet
7) Add ability to disable suspending of individual holds in the staff intranet

The last two steps give librarians not only more flexibility for suspending
holds, but give a visual indicator that a hold is not suspend-able.
