Description Chris Hall 2012-04-19 00:10:24 UTC
When returning a book it is said to require a transfer if the home branch is not the same as the current branch (even if HomeOrHoldingBranchReturn specifies it should be returned to the holding branch)

Later on a message is generated in returns.pl if the first test was true, and this message respects HomeOrHoldingBranchReturn and will put the correct branch name into the message.
Comment 1 Benjamin Rokseth 2014-03-31 11:46:44 UTC
Seems to me HomeOrHoldingBranchReturn SysPref is a residue or at least not any more in use. Circulation rules in 'Default checkout, hold and return policy' seems to be the preferred setting. At least they are honored in C4::Circulation.

This also affects SIP transactions as returns gets no return branch.

I will make a small patch to remove syspref HomeOrHoldingBranchReturn and make C4::Circulation::AddReturn return message about transfer branch on checkin.
Comment 2 Benjamin Rokseth 2014-04-01 09:07:14 UTC
Actually, on second look, circ/returns.pl uses C4::Context->preference('HomeOrHoldingBranchReturn');

Others should probably decide, but there cannot be two conflicting return policies, and I believe C4::Circulation should be the preferred setting.
 
C4::GetBranchItemRule returns noreturn|holdingbranch|homebranch and defaults to homebranch if no default circulation rule is set.

[SIGNED-OFF] Bug 7981 - Transfer message when returning doesn't properly respect HomeOrHoldingBranchReturn syspref

Review of attachment 27487 [details] [review]:
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Quick code review:

- patch should also delete HomeOrHoldingBranchReturn from sysprefs.sql
- I think the updatedatabase message could note that we remove HomeOrHoldingBranchReturn in favor of the circulation rules
- Is there an existing test for the return policies?

... and now... sleep.

Why don't you keep needstransfer = 1 ?

Please use the Branches TT plugin to get a branch name from its code.

This is why it's blocking bug 12021. AddReturn has been modified to add transfer branch to $message. I don't see any better way to pass the transfer branch to the SIP controller.

NeedsTransfer in returns.pl was modified accordingly to avvoid confusion only.
Comment 11 Colin Campbell 2014-08-26 11:05:51 UTC
Path doesnt apply against master also. The first like of the path should indicate what it does not reiterate the original bug report. Which if applied is irrelevant as the option gets removed.
Comment 12 Katrin Fischer 2014-09-14 19:58:43 UTC
Hi Colin,
Can you explain a bit what needs to be changed to move this forward? The patch applies for on master tonight.
Comment 13 Colin Campbell 2014-09-16 14:29:33 UTC
The subject line does not give an indication of what the patch does. That line should convey a summary of the change made by the patch. Its meant to give the user some indication in the git logs etc of what changes. The current line is not only uninformative but misleading in this resepect.
Comment 14 Benjamin Rokseth 2014-09-16 20:19:05 UTC
I see the objections. Perhaps should it be moved to a new bug? The patch deletes HomeOrHoldingBranchReturn syspref and makes the logics of C4::Circulation::GetBranchItemRule decide return policy, which makes more sense than a syspref.

Also the return message for transfers is fixed to allow SIP2 returns to alert branch on transfers.

I have no experience in this som suggestins welcome!
Comment 15 Katrin Fischer 2014-09-17 07:21:43 UTC
Hi Benjamin and Colin,
maybe it's a misunderstanding here - from Colin's last comment I think what needs to be changes is not the code, but the documentation of it in the patch?

Yes. The first line should be a succinct summary of what the patch changes. As such its useful for future developers and others viewing the history when merging, debugging or learning about the code
Comment 17 Katrin Fischer 2014-09-17 14:59:10 UTC
Hi Colin, could you maybe suggest a possible wording? Maybe it will be clearer then.

Make the Subject line

Bug 7981 Remove HomeOrHoldingBranchReturn syspref


The rest of the commit message explains the implications well enough.

I'm quite happy with that, as it is what the patch basically does.

I took the liberty of changing. The attachment should mayhaps be changed accordingly?

For the record, the old subject line was:

"Transfer message when returning doesn't properly respect HomeOrHoldingBranchReturn syspref"

I'm moving this back to assigned, because I noticed some rotating collections variable was lost. This might not reflect that changes made in bug 8836. Please check, and either change to needs sign off if the changes are reflected OR fix and then change to needs sign off. This was just a quick eyeball.

Bug 7981 - Remove HomeOrHoldingBranchReturn syspref

This patch removes HomeOrHoldingBranchReturn syspref and makes circ/returns.pl respect branch
circulation rules from C4::Circulation::GetBranchItemRule. Also transfer slip notice should reflect this.

Default should always be to return item to home branch.

Test plan:
- make sure syspref 'AutomaticItemReturn' is set to 'false'
- unset 'Default checkout, hold and return policy' or set 'Return policy' to 'Item returns home'
- checkout an item and do a checkin from different branch than items homebranch
- verify that you're prompted with a transfer message to item's home branch and that print slip matches

- set 'Return policy' to 'Item returns to issuing library'
- do a checkout and a checkin from branch different than item's home branch
- verify that you're not prompted with a transfer message and that holding library is your current branch

Signed-off-by: Kyle M Hall <kyle@bywatersolutions.com>

Follow-up:
- Added 3 tests in t/db_dependent/Circulation_Branches.t to test AddReturn
  policies
- Removed HomeOrHoldingBranchReturn from sysprefs.sql
- Added notice on removing syspref in updatedatabase

QA edits:
- removed trailing whitespace in tests
- moved branchname lookup from returns.pl to template

I think there is a problem here.
$itemtype is a hashref returned by C4::ItemType->get, but GetBranchItemRule expects a string.

Well spotted, Jonathan! Since it is already pushed to master, could you apply a patch? My env is a bit off at the moment. (silly excuse ;)

Maybe this is the reason for the strange fault in print slip on transfer on

I don't think so, 7981 is present in master only for 5 months.
