--- Comment #48 from Katrin Fischer <katrin.fisc...@bsz-bw.de> ---
I am sorry as this might be coming (too) late, but I think the way this patch
re-uses the existing system preferences doesn't quite work for the use case.

We have 2 preferences that come into play here:
BatchCheckouts : General ON/OFF switch.
BatchCheckoutsValidCategories : Patron categories allowed to checkout in a
batch.

I believe the second one is currently described misleadingly. It should
probably read: Patron categories a staff user can batch checkout items to. 

Just to be sure I have confirmed the current behavior in our 22.11 demo
installation and on main.

What it means is that with the current preferences the behavior in the staff
interface and the OPAC cannot be configured separately. I can't turn it off in
the OPAC if I want to feature to remain available to my staff users.
Just checking "staff" will not allow staff to still keep doing batch checkouts
to all users and block patrons from doing so. 

We don't know how the self check stations are equipped/built and this could
come as an unwanted feature for some libraries that want that patrons check out
one after the other to avoid any confusion for errors/problems.

I think this should have its own system preference. I am not sure that a ON/OFF
is really needed - we could just do something like
SCOBatchCheckoutsValidCategories and place it right in the "Self check-out
module" section with the other relevant preferences.
