Description Tomás Cohen Arazi (tcohen) 2022-01-07 14:23:56 UTC
Bug 27946 introduced circulation rules to allow charging for article requests. It was done by relying on circulation rules on a per-branch and category basis. It would be great to define it at item type level as well.
Comment 1 Tomás Cohen Arazi (tcohen) 2022-01-07 14:39:54 UTC
Questions:
- Do we need a fulfillment step at checkin? i.e. if an item that can fulfill the request is scanned, then it is informed to the staff, and assigned to  the AR.
- In that case, wouldn't it make more sense to charge the fee when the AR is 'accepted'? Because if you have a default fee for the biblio-level itype, and then the staff assigns a specific item, then the fee may differ?
- I understand not all AR need to be fulfilled by specific items, because the library might have already scanned things. In that case, how it should behave? Maybe for another bug.
