            Bug ID: 27936
           Summary: AllowItemsOnHoldCheckoutSIP does not allow checkout of
                    items currently waiting for a hold

          Severity: major
          Priority: P5 - low
         Component: SIP2

The syspref text says "[Allow/Don't allow] checkouts of items reserved to
someone else via SIP checkout messages. If allowed do not generate
RESERVE_WAITING and RESERVED warning. This allows self checkouts for those
items. If using the holds queue items with pending holds will be marked as
"unavailable" if this set to "Don't allow"."

However, setting the syspref to Allow *only* allows sets sip to ignore the
RESERVED warning. Items that are currently waiting for hold pickup will still
generate a RESERVE_WAITING message and block the checkout. Either the
description or the behavior needs to change to make this accurate.

In contrast, AllowItemsOnHoldCheckoutSCO also says "If allowed do not generate
RESERVE_WAITING and RESERVED warning" and, for the SCO, this is accurate. With
AllowItemsOnHoldCheckoutSCO set to allow, items waiting for another patron's
hold can be checked out without a warning at the SCO.
