When using book drop mode in returns.pl, the checkin date is set to the last
date the library was open. However, this gets confusing when multiple branches
within the same system have different calendars. Book drop mode selects a date
based on the calendar of the library whose circ rules governed the checkout
(the library indicated by the CircControl and HomeOrHolding sysprefs). It does
not consult the calendar of the library at which the checkin is taking place.
This is not a particularly transparent behavior and is not explained in the
manual. I'd like to see an explanation added to
https://koha-community.org/manual/17.11/html/05_circulation.html#check-in-returning.
