[Koha-devel] RFC Looking for feedback

[Kyle Hall]

Hey all! I'm looking to get feedback on this enhancement before proceeding
with development:
http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=13937

Some libraries have found that Koha doesn't work well with some
external services like SHAREit that utilize z39.50 to get information
about a record and its' items.

a) We propose to add field 'status' to items table ( this field can be
mapped to whatever MARC tag you wish )

b) Engineer a subroutine that would generate the item's status

The precedence for status would be as follows:
1) Checked Out
2) Lost
3) Not for Loan
4) Damaged
5) On Hold ( In Transit )
6) In Transit
7) On Hold

This status could eventually be used within Koha to simplify our
status display logic, but that is outside the immediate scope of this
enhancement.
