I'm not sure but since the status changes when you check in an item I'd 
have a look at the system parameter "UpdateNotForLoanStatusOnCheckin". 
For Koha 3.18 this parameter is described in 
http://manual.koha-community.org/3.18/en/administration.html#circprefs

To find out how it works it may be helpful to also have a look at the 
similar parameter "AcqItemSetSubfieldsWhenReceived", described in 
http://manual.koha-community.org/3.18/en/administration.html#acqprefs

As far as I know there are at least the following statuses

* -1 = ordered
* 0 = "" (available for loan)
* 1 = not for loan
* 2 = staff collection

Kind regards, Michael
