Bug ID: 18317
Summary: Allow check out of already checked out items trough
sip
Change sponsored?: ---
Product: Koha
Version: master
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: new feature
Priority: P5 - low
Component: Circulation
Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org

We see the need to have the ability to allow already checked out material to be
checked out by an another patron automatically when using the automat (sip).
Today a patron is not allowed to check out already checked out material when
using the automat (sip).(In the staff client you can override this if you scan
the barcode).
There are several reason for allowing this:
Case 1:
If a patron, patron no.1, fails to deliver the item properly (the item is still
on loan on his account) and the item is placed on the shelf where it belongs.
The next patron(no.2) who picks it up and borrows it, can in this way correct
the error of patron no.1 without contacting the staff.
Today we risk that patron no.1 will receive fines even though he has delivered
it. Or even worse patron no.2 has borrowed it (failed to see og ignored the
message on the automat) and patron nr. 1 gets the fines.
Case 2:
If a patron has an item on loan that belongs to another branch, has no renewals
left and wishes to borrow it again. He will be able to do so if there are no
one on the waiting list.
Because we have many branches that are open without any staff present, this
feature is even more important. The patrons will be much more self-sufficient
- also during the hours when the library is open but without staff.
