Bug ID: 39658
Summary: Allow definition of non-hierarchical linked patron
accounts
Change sponsored?: ---
Product: Koha
Version: Main
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P5 - low
Component: Patrons

In a Koha system containing multiple functionally-autonomous libraries, one
patron may have multiple distinct accounts within the same Koha system. These
accounts represent distinct cards from distinct libraries and need their
circulation rules enforced as such, so they can't be merged into one account.
But no one of these accounts is "primary" and they all represent the same
person, so guarantor/guarantee relationships are a poor conceptual fit (and may
already be in use for their intended purpose).
These linked/shared accounts would:
- clearly link between each other in the Details of the patron record
- optionally reciprocally enforce restrictions and blocks due to fines & fees
(when one account is blocked, all are)
- optionally allow checkout of on-hold items for shared accounts
For that last item, assuming one patron has accounts card1 and card2. They have
a hold ready for pickup on their card1 account. If Koha attempts to check the
waiting item out to the card2 account, koha should check the item out on the
card1 account, mark the hold complete, and give the user a clear on-screen
message as to what happened. It should not ask for confirmation.
