[Koha-devel] Discussion of account types / labels

[Renvoize, Martin]

I've been working on cleaning up these codes as a first step towards other
improvements in this area..

There are a few bugs still in the NSO stages and I think it would be really
beneficial to keep that tree moving forward as we're now in a half and half
state in master (and thus 19.05 if we don't push these through).. Any help
with the following bugs would be gratefully received.

Bug 22563 <https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=22563>
- Convert lost handling to use 'status' instead of multiple accounttypes
Bug 11573 <https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=11573>
- Fine descriptions related to Rentals are untranslatable
Bug 6759 <https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=6759> -
Use a different account type for account renewals than for new accounts
Bug 22610 <https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=22610>
- SIP Payment Types should be moved out of accountype

My hope is to get these one's in now to clear the way for working on
resurrecting "Bug 17702
<https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=17702> - Create
configuration for account types" during the next cycle

Many thanks,
