Description Tomás Cohen Arazi 2013-05-27 13:25:31 UTC
Suspensions should be considered a different thing from fines (money wise). Both can be concurrent actually.

They should be recorded in its own table on the DB, and have its own class under the Koha namespace.

Requirements:
- We should be able to know what items under what circumstances triggered a suspension.
- We should be able to set a max suspensions limit in a period of time.

Yes, good idea.
And if somebody is suspended because he was late (as we do in France), there should be a comment along with the suspenstion, so we know he was blocked because of the late document and not an other cause (like a unpaid fine, a theft attempt etc).

I'm glad to see there's interest in this. That's one of the things I'd like to implement Mathieu.

I will sign it off with pleasure ;-)
Comment 4 Katrin Fischer 2014-11-02 10:52:27 UTC
Has this been improved with the borrower_debarments table? It's possible now to add a text and we have different types of restrictions.
Comment 5 Tomás Cohen Arazi 2014-11-03 14:34:32 UTC
Even when they weren't strictly related, it was fixed as part of bug 2720. So closing this one. Maybe future enhancements will be requested on new bug reports.
