Bug ID: 33794 Summary: Holds Queue builder skips least cost branch unless target item's homebranch is patron's homebranch Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: master Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P5 - low Component: Hold requests Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: k...@bywatersolutions.com QA Contact: testo...@bugs.koha-community.org CC: gmcha...@gmail.com The line next if $request->{borrowerbranch} ne $item->{homebranch}; has been in the holds queue builder since the very beginning, with no explanation. My justification for this line is that we would prefer to send an item to a patron whose home library is the same is the item's home library, assuming that patron will return the item at that library, thus reducing transportation costs. I will not argue here if this is a good feature or not. Bug 31557 makes in configurable, but perhaps it should have an 'off' feature as well. This feature does not make sense when using the transport cost matrix. We get the lowest cost branch, and then if the branches don't match we just move on the the "fall back to basics code". This line should be removed from the code section dealing with the transport cost matrix. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
