  Target Milestone: ---

It appears that lost, not for loan, withdrawn, and damaged statuses are not
taken into account when Koha calculates libraries' library float limit ratio of
available to max items, and thus aren't considered when determining which
library should receive items.

To replicate:
-Set library float limits so that there will be a 'tie' for the lowest ratio
between two branches (for instance, a Book limit of 10 at North and West
branches, and 5 at East and South)
-Distribute the holding library for Books so that North and West each have 7,
and East and South each have 6. Thus, North and West have the same lowest
ratio.
-Set 5 of North's Books to any lost status (no other statuses apply to any
other items at North or West)
-Make sure that none of the North and West Books are checked out
-*Repeat multiple times*: Check in a Book at South, and note the transfer
target. Cancel the transfer, repeat the check in, and note that Koha randomly
selects between North and West with each transfer. 

Ideally, the item would transfer to North since there are fewer *available*
Book items.

The same random selection of West or North happens when the majority of North's
items are set to a withdrawn, damaged, or not for loan status.
