Bug ID: 34950
Summary: ILS DI Availability is not accurate for items on holds
shelf or in transit
Change sponsored?: ---
Product: Koha
Version: 22.11
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P5 - low
Component: Web services

The ILS DI web service is a handy way for a third party system, such as a
mobile app, to check for the availability of items for a given bib record in
your system.
If you make a call like
https://{OPAC_DOMAIN}/cgi-bin/koha/ilsdi.pl?service=GetAvailability&id={BIB_ID}&id_type=bib
the response shows the availabilitystatus of items that are on the holds shelf
or in transit as 'available'.
While these items may be technically available to be checked out, it's not
ideal to send the message to patrons that these items are available because
they may show up at the library to get the book and be disappointed :(
It would be more accurate and informative if ILS DI could show
availabilitystatus 'not available' with availabilitymsg indicating 'on hold
shelf' or 'in transit' for these items.
Alternatively it would be nice to have a REST API endpoint for item
availability to easily get this info to third party developers.
