Bug ID: 39578
Summary: Checking out to change holding branch before setting
due date and creating CHECKOUT slip
Change sponsored?: ---
Product: Koha
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P5 - low
Component: Circulation

When checking out an item in Koha, it seems the due date and checkout slips are
created by the current holding branch. If the holding branch was different from
the actual branch the checkout is being made (the librarian's chosen branch or
the branch of a checkout machine), the checkout gets its due date and checkout
slip according to another branch.
This occurs quite frequently with us as we have a lot reservations and
different float rules, so there's plenty of material always travelling from a
branch to another. We're getting checkouts with wrong due dates and checkout
slips. Possibly this could affect other things too.
(Most of the time this occurs because of staff making an error and not checking
in the books correctly. With our volumes it's impossible to avoid it
completely. But this can also occur when patrons make an error at
self-check-in, and another patron checks outs an item that was still checked
out. In this case the due date is decided on the branch the book was initially
checked out.)
Would it be possible to update the holding branch of an item before it goes
through the rest of the checkout process? The correct branchcode ends up in the
issues table after all. Or possibly there could be a system preference whether
to use the holding branch or the librarian's current branch when doing
checkouts.
This relates to 9227 as items in transit get checked out by the rules of the
sending branch. https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=9227
