--- Comment #3 from Oliver Behnke <[email protected]> ---
My issue was caused by a recent regression. See bug 37525.

That said, I agree that the UX is not as intuitive as it could be. When you
allow "SCOAllowCheckin" this enables multiple buttons to "Return" or "Check in"
an item. The one you're missing is the "Check in" button in the "Renew" column
of the "Checkouts" table (on the main SCO page). That's only visible for items
that cannot be renewed. To lessen the confusion this causes, I set
"SCOLoadCheckoutsByDefault" to "Don't show", such that the occasional "Check
in" button isn't visible by default.

The standard button(s) to return an item are provided *after* you've entered
the barcode of the item to be returned. What's making this UX worse are the
prominent warnings like "You cannot renew this item again" or "This item is
already checked out to you" - things I never intended or know anyway. IMHO, the
return workflow needs some love here.

1) When "SCOAllowCheckin" is allowed, add a "Return" column to the "Checkouts"
table with a single "Check in" item in it. This speeds up bulk self-checkins
and makes the "Renew -> Check in" button less confusing
2) Rephrase the individual return dialog to make returns a first-class citizen,
not just a (felt) exception.

Cheers
