Need to change the pickup location of the hold
Hello, We are configuring the "holds" functionality in Koha and we disabled the possibility for the user to chose the pickup location, to suspend the hold etc. However when we place a hold it takes the patron home library as the pickup location. We would like to know if it is possible to configure that and have the item's home library in place of the patron's home library. In our libraries once a patron makes a request on an available item he has to pick it up by himself from the shelves. We prepare the item only for "closed stack request". If the request was placed on a checked out book he receives an alert that the item is ready to pickup at the circulation desk. Kind regards, -- Mana Deweerdt
So, are you forcing patron's to select an item to place a hold on? That is, are you dis-allowing record level holds? That would be the first step in getting to what you want.

Hello, I'm very sorry for the delay... We want to allow the item-level request. Let's say there are several libraries having the same book. The patron can select the item to place a hold on. (ok, working). He cannot select a pickup location (ok). If he select the item B from library B the patron must pickup the item from this library. (now it places automatically the patron home library as the pickup location). Regards, Mana On 19/03/2018 11:56, Kyle Hall wrote:
