[OPEN-ILS-DEV] RE: Loading bibs questions

[Hardy, Elaine]

Since some libraries allow holds on acquisition items with "on order"
status, will that status be configurable to allow holds?

Items will show up in the opac if all of the following conditions are
true:

* The record has copies where at least one copy's OPAC Visible flag is
true
* The record has copies where at least one copy's shelving location
has OPAC Visible set to true
* The record has copies where at least one copy's status has:
  - Holdable set to true in 1.2 and before
  - OPAC Visible set to true in 1.4 (next major release) and beyond

  --OR--

* The record has a transcendent bib source

By "checkin" above, I assume you're referring to acquisitions checkin.
The default workflow would be to move the copies from On Order to In
Process, but I don't see any reason we couldn't make that configurable
for the case where you get your items in a shelf-ready form.  They
could go directly from On Order to Available.  In any case, all of the
statuses mentioned here are OPAC Visible out of the box, and would
show up in the OPAC by default.
