Text to go in the release notes:
Some libraries would like patrons to be unable to return items with holds via SIP. Instead, the screen message should indicate that the patron should return that item at the circ desk so a librarian can use it to fill the next hold right away and place it on the hold shelf. This feature is enabled by adding the flag holds_block_checkin to an account in the SIP configuration file, and setting the value of it to "1".
Version(s) released in:
20.11.00

Bug 25541 - Add ability to prevent checkin of items with holds

Some libraries would like patrons to be unable to return items with
holds via SIP. Instead, the screen message should indicate that the
patron should return that item at the circ desk so a librarian can use
it to fill the next hold right away and place it on the hold shelf.

Test Plan:
1) Apply this patch.
2) Place a hold for an item.
3) Enable the new SIP option no_holds_checkin for a SIP account.
4) Restart the SIP server.
5) Check in the item using the SIP CLI tool using the SIP account
   for which you set the new option.
6) Note the checkin fails with a screen message indicating you should
   return the item to the circulation desk.

Is this similar to Bug https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=15729? I added similar functionality via a syspref.

Looks good! The problem with a syspref though is that the behavior cannot be changed on a per-account basis. It very well may be that such behavior is desired for a self check machine for example, but not for an AMH.

Hi I found two issues with this:
- Does it need to be enabled by default? (we usually keep the previous behaviour)
- It adds the option to etc/SIPconfig.xml but it doesn't touch the one in debian/templates

I agree this fits better in the SIPconfig.xml, Barry.

It is not enabled by default, keeping previous behavior as the default.

Added!
Comment 9 Martin Renvoize 2020-09-02 11:47:16 UTC
Minor niggle.. I'm not sure about the variable name 'no_holds_checkin'.. I think something like 'holds_block_checkin' might clarify it's meaning a bit?

Otherwise, this generally looks good.

Agreed, that's a much better name. Followup incoming...

Bug 25541: (QA follow-up) Defualt to disabled + Correct message

This patch defaults the 'holds_block_checkin' configuration to disabled
(to maintain current behaviour on upgrades). It also updates a
copy/paste for siplog logging to make the message triggered by this
action unique as expected.

Comment 16 Martin Renvoize 2020-09-02 13:43:51 UTC
Works well. I took the liberty of adding a final QA followup to correct a copy/paste of the log message and, as Tomas highlighted, correct the default behaviour to allow check-ins as is currently the case.

Passing QA

Comment 19 Koha Team University Lyon 3 2020-11-12 18:16:49 UTC
Hi,
I have a few questions about this BZ:
- which level is checked during the return: the biblio-level or the item-level? If an hold is on an item-level, the return of another item from the same biblio shouldn't be blocked.
- If an hold is "served" because an item is waiting or in transfer to another branch for a reserve, will the other items of the same biblio be blocked? They shouldn't be if an item is already here for the hold.

Thanks for your explanations :-) !

Sonia
