If a library has a rule that allows 5 holds daily on DVDs and 50 holds daily on the BOOK rule, Koha will count the first 5 holds regardless of item type and not allow any more of that item type (DVD) for a hold, but will allow more BOOK holds. 423 my $today_holds = Koha::Holds->search({ 424 borrowernumber => $borrowernumber, 425 reservedate => dt_from_string->date 426 }); Koha should be looking at Item Type when determining whether a hold can be placed in this today_holds search.
This reads like a bug - updating.
Hi there! Salina Public Library chiming in. We stumbled into this issue as well, so it would be very nice for this functionality to work. We have begun to increase the amount of holds people can place on items but as a way to help out our circulation department the ability to limit the number of holds per day would be nice.
This is still relevant as of 21.11.05. Being able to use the feature with the accurate per-item type limit would be very helpful!
I think it might not be easy to implement or maybe only with a fallback to the record level itemtype. When a hold is placed without being limited to an item type, it's not easy to determine which itemtype should apply if there are multiple items that could fill the hold with different itemtypes.
Perhaps we should consider deleting this column from the table. Its location is misleading.
