Hi Katrin, 

The above patch addresses your points as follows:

1. Already existing behaviour - 952h is set to the next appropriate serial
numbering pattern value as you supposed

When a branch is set in the subscription that is set as the 952a (Home branch)
and 952b (holding branch) instead of the branch that the user is logged in on -
this is existing behaviour in Koha

What this patch does is:

1. Adds a 'Serial Issue Collection' input in the serials/subscription-add.pl
where librarians can set a collection code to be set as default for all serial
issues 952$8 Collection Code

2. Populating the item creation form with order cost data (set in the
Acquisition module and stored in the aqorders table) 

* Automatic display of the aqorder.price in the 952g Item price

* Automatic display of the aqorder.replacementprice in the 952v Replacement
price

3. Added two new sysprefs:

* DefaultToCreatingSerialIssuesOnReceival - Disabled by default. When enabled
it sets 'Create an item record on receiving this serial' 

* PopulateNewItemDateAccessionedOnPageLoad - Disabled by default. When enabled
it fills the 952d Date Acquired field on page load rather than the librarian
having to click in the field. 

What this means is when an order exists and the
PopulateNewItemDateAccessionedOnPageLoad syspref is enabled then the following
fields are filled by default when receiving an order (as long as the 'Create an
item record on receiving this serial' is enabled):

952$8 Collection Code 
952a Home branch
952b Holding branch
952d Date Acquired
952$h Serial Enumeration
952$g Price
952v Replacement price

So all that needs adding is barcode, this will make for a faster serial
cataloguing process. 

Thanks very much,
Alex
