Text to go in the release notes:
This enhancement allows checkouts of items already checked out to someone else when using SIP2. This is enabled using the new system preference AllowItemsOnLoanCheckoutSIP. Example use case: Patron A has checked out a book and tried to return it, but for some reason it hasn't been properly checked in - but it was re-shelved anyway. Patron B wants to borrow this book from an unstaffed library, but the self-checkout blocks them because the book is still checked out to Patron A.

Description Marianne Rolfsen 2017-03-23 07:40:51 UTC 
We see the need to have the ability to allow already checked out material to be checked out by an another patron automatically when using the automat (sip). 

Today a patron is not allowed to check out already checked out material when using the automat (sip).(In the staff client you can override this if you scan the barcode).

There are several reason for allowing this:

Case 1:
If a patron, patron no.1, fails to deliver the item properly (the item is still on loan on his account) and the item is placed on the shelf where it belongs.
The next patron(no.2) who picks it up and borrows it, can in this way correct the error of patron no.1 without contacting the staff. 

Today we risk that patron no.1 will receive fines even though he has delivered it. Or even worse patron no.2 has borrowed  it (failed to see og ignored the message on the automat) and patron nr. 1 gets the fines.


Case 2:  
If a patron has an item on loan that belongs to another branch, has no renewals left and wishes to borrow it again. He will be able to do so if there are no one on the waiting list.   


Because we have many branches that are open without any staff present, this feature  is even more important. The patrons will be much more self-sufficient -  also during the hours when the library is open but without staff.
Comment 1 Francesco Rivetti 2017-06-26 07:37:04 UTC 
For future reference, here a possible workaround:

change in SIP/ILS/Transaction/Checkout.pm (commenting out the block _after_ ISSUED_TO_ANOTHER and probably adding a few more conditions there) 

commenting out the _whole_ if case around "Item checked out to another patron" in C4/SIP/ILS.pm
Comment 2 Magnus Enger 2018-03-28 22:47:15 UTC 
At least one library in Sweden would like to see this implemented too.
Comment 3 Colin Campbell 2018-09-05 08:50:58 UTC 
Some sip clients already implement this - they force a discharge then proceed with the issue

I have a library that has been carrying this customization for a few years now.

To be acceptable for Koha, I think that we'll have to wrap it with a system preference. 

Perhaps "AllowItemsOnLoanCheckoutSIP" (patterned after "AllowItemsOnHoldCheckoutSIP").

Comment 6 David Cook 2021-07-19 04:20:14 UTC 
Note that I developed this patch against 21.05 rather than master, so it might not actually apply. 

My priority is the local change, so I figured it was better to attach 21.05 patches here rather than not send anything upstream.

Comment 8 Lari Strand 2023-11-08 08:03:37 UTC 
SIP server configuration has the option prevcheckout_block_checkout="0" that should work for this. Haven't tested though. Does this suffice as a solution?

I think the it's a bit of a different use case here.

prevcheckout blocks if you had it checked out in the past and have it returned since.
This is about checkouts you currently haven on your account, if I understand it correctly.

prevcheckout_block_checkout isn't relevant here.

The use case here is that Patron A has checked out a book. Patron A has tried to return that book, but for some reason it hasn't been properly checked in, and it's been re-shelfed anyway. Patron B wants to borrow this book from an unstaffed library, but the self-checkout blocks them because the book is still checked out to Patron A.

Just a reminder that this has been running in production for a multi-branch public library for something like 5-7 years now. 

I'll have to look at rebasing at some point...
