[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Real mystery - is it a bug?

[Kathy Lussier]

Hi Jennifer,

It looks like everyone else has covered your question regarding deleted 
items. To answer your other question:

> status?    Is the ONLY trigger the checkin function?

As far as I know, the only way items will go into reshelving is if you 
check then in, if you manually change the status in the copy editor, or 
if you update the status in the database. The checkin will change the 
status to reshelving even if the item was not checked out to a patron. 
For example, if the item was listed as available, it will change to 
reshelving if you scan it in the checkin interface.
