Bug ID: 15404
Summary: CanBookBeReserved: No count of biblio level holds if
ReservesControlBranch is item's home library
Change sponsored?: ---
Product: Koha
Version: master
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P5 - low
Component: Architecture, internals, and plumbing

If the system preference 'ReservesControlBranch' is set to "Check the [item's
home library] to see if the patron can place a hold on the item.", the sub
CanBookBeReserved does not count holds on bilio level.
This is because there is no information about to which branch a biblio item
hold should refer.
The behaviour affects:
- putting holds from OPAC (if RequestOnOpac is set to "[Allow] patrons to
place holds on items from the OPAC." (Seems always to be an biblio level hold)
- putting holds in staff interface for "Next available item" (= biblio level
hold)
Symptoms:
In OPAC, patrons can put more holds than allowed for an item type (up to
syspref 'maxreserve' = systemwide maximum holds)
Same in staff client as long you do not put item level holds. With other words:
You can put item level holds up to the maximum defined in the circulation rules
and additionally biblio level holds up to the value set in 'maxreserve'.
I think there is no way to overcome the situation (because a biblio has no home
library, only items can have), but it should be documented e.g. in the text
when setting the syspref 'ReservesContronBranch' and/or with a warning e.g. on
the page where the circulation rules are set.
I suppose that following Bugs could be related:
Bug 6976 - User hold limit can be avoided by users in OPAC
Bug 5159 - HomeOrHoldingBranch syspref description misleading
Bug 4850 - CheckReserves does not respect holds circulation policies
More?
