For periodicity Irregular, Unknown or "Without periodicity", it would be helpful if Koha could suggest a next planned date when receiving an issue based on the time interval between the last two receivals of this serial. This option is triggered by new local-use preference SerialEstimatePlannedDate. If this option exists and contains uppercase W for without periodicity, I for irregular or U for unknown, or a combination of those characters, the option is enabled for these particular periodicities. Behavior does not change for other periodicities. Implemented by some small changes in C4/Serials.pm, routine GetNextDate. Patch has been sent.
Hi, can you please attach your patch file to the bug? It's a lot easier to get the patch out of bugzilla for testing, than from the mailing list. I wonder if a 'real' sys pref would be better?

I'm confused on this patch. Why have this depend on a local use preference? Why make the libraries create a preference to use this option? If a preference is needed it should be a preference on all systems.
