---- Reported by oleonard@myacpl.org 2008-11-15 06:58:45 ---- We often get requests by patrons to send a hold to a different branch from the one that was selected when the hold was placed. This might be because they chose the wrong branch at the time (better in 3.0 now that it preselects your branch), or because they simply changed their minds. Right now the only way to manage this is to cancel the hold, add it back in, and change the priority. This is less than ideal not just for the inconvenience but because of the poor interface for changing hold priority. ---- Additional Comments From gmcharlt@gmail.com 2008-11-17 06:38:28 ---- So the workflow would be something like this? 1. Patron requests an item. 2. Request is filled eventually and item is waiting at branch A. 3. Patron requests that item be transferred to branch B instead for pickup. (Should it be possible to make that request via the OPAC, or do patrons just call the library?). 4. Circ staff at branch A initiates a transfer to branch B. 5. Circ staff at branch B receive the item and check it in. Item is automatically sent to the hold shelf. ---- Additional Comments From oleonard@myacpl.org 2008-11-18 08:05:20 ---- Yes Galen that's exactly how I would expect it to work. It happens rarely enough that I don't think it needs to be possible via the OPAC. --- Bug imported by chris@bigballofwax.co.nz 2010-05-21 00:55 UTC --- This bug was previously known as _bug_ 2786 at http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=2786 Actual time not defined.

Hey Owen & Galen, is this still valid?
(In reply to comment #1) > is this still valid? It is.
Still valid?
This would be great. We have 7 branches and still in 16.05 often have this problem, especially with new items.
Would this work with the new feature to revert the waiting status?
(In reply to Katrin Fischer from comment #5) > Would this work with the new feature to revert the waiting status? Yes, that does work! Once the hold is reverted we can change the pickup branch and check the item in to send it on. Lisette
