I am not sure if this wasn't by design. Maybe try and ping Kyle? (In reply to Katrin Fischer from comment #1) > I am not sure if this wasn't by design. Maybe try and ping Kyle? That is correct. It's been well over a decade since I originally wrote that feature, but iirc will should automatically transfer any items that are not checked out. It also updates the holding branch of all the items including the checked out ones so that Koha should transfer them to the new holding branch on checkin. It's possible that a library could have circ rules that are preventing that transfer of the checked out rotating collection items. Reopening this bug per a conversation with Kyle. The transfer request message should be modified to actually trigger the transfer of the item, which could then be confirmed by staff prior to printing the transfer slip. Currently, if an item in a rotating collection is checked in at a library other than the one designated as the Current Library in the rotating collections tool, the transfer message appears and a slip can be printed, but the item must be manually transferred to the Current Library set in the tool. This can be done using the Transfer function in the Circulation module, but is not an intuitive process. To Test: 1. In Tools > Rotating Collections 2. Create a new collection and add an item to it 3. Transfer the collection using the Transfer feature within the tool (this puts the items into transit pending status) 4. Check the item in to trigger the initial transfer and confirm (item now in transit) 5. Change logged in library to the Current Library designated in the tool, and check the item in to receive it. 6. Change logged in library to any library other than the Current Library designated in the rotating collections tool. 7. Check the item in and notice a transfer request message appears with the option to print a slip. 8. Navigate to the holdings table for the item and notice the item is not in transit (available status) |
Created attachment 165237 [details] Rotating collections transfer request message on check-in For items in a rotating collection, upon checking in the item, a message appears requesting the transfer of the item due to it being in a rotating collection with a "Print slip" button. However, the opportunity to actually initiate the transfer (or cancel transfer) does not appear, even when the item is checked in again.
