Some library systems want the patron with an item in hand to always be able to checkout the item. It should be possible to configure Koha to ignore holds when issuing items
Hm, I thought we had this behaviour already, but it might require an overwrite permission in staff? It's solved for SIP and SCO: AllowItemsOnHoldCheckout*
Currently it still notifies you of the holds, but does allow checking out anyways. To avoid mistakes or cancelling holds etc. the request was made to eliminate the confirmation box and simply always allow the patron to checkout the material with no interruption
That makes sense, thanks for the explanation.
We are interested in this at OSLRI as well. As long as the hold Koha is warning about is not an already waiting hold for another patron. We would still want the warning if a waiting hold is checked out to a different patron (family member pickup), with options to cancel or revert waiting status.
