--- Comment #4 from Sally Lodico <[email protected]> ---
We use the Stock Rotation module, but the Transfers to Send tool was so
unusable that I hid it from staff and replaced it with a report. If this is to
be made available for other types of transit requests, I have a couple of
suggestions to make it more useful. 

1.) Don't break the list up into individual lists of where the items are to be
sent. That doesn't help the staff that need to pull them off the shelves and
shipped out. Create a single shelf order list that can be sorted and printed,
like the holds queue.

2.) Don't include items that aren't available. The current version includes
items that are lost, in repair, on hold at a different library, etc., but it
doesn't tell the staff looking for those items that they're not likely to find
them. It does include the due dates when when items are checked out but why
bother listing them at all? It just makes the list longer than it needs to be.
The Stock Rotation module has already changed the owning library and Koha will
direct the items to their new homes the next time they're checked in without
the pending transit request.

Julie -- Yes, it will show you items that should have been shipped out, but
weren't. I found a number of items in "Transits to send" that had been on the
holds queue, but now have a lost or damaged status and weren't sent. In the
process of setting the status the item had been attached to the hold request,
so Koha stopped trying to fill it, leaving the patron high and dry. Another
report made it simple to find these and revert the transit from the title's
holds list to have Koha find the next available copy instead. Before turning on
Stock Rotation and "Transits to send" I had no idea that was happening and
needed be dealt with.
