- When a patron has a item checkout, and the staff tries to checkout the same item to another user, there is again a prompt where the staff can checkout the item to the other user. Again there is some Koha option to turn off that functionality?
No. I think in this case the assumption is that if the patron has presented a book for checkout, they are entitled to have it. In the public library setting (where I work), this usually happens when an item has been returned to the shelf without having been checked in.
I have seen this problem many times where people are manually entering the barcodes instead of using a barcode scanner. Due a typo they frequently try to issue books already issued to another user. It happened enough times that I had to do a template edit to disable the option to issue the item in the resulting dialog box. Regards, Senthil
