C4::Circulation - Koha circulation module
use C4::Circulation;
The functions in this module deal with circulation, issues, and returns, as well as general information about the library. Also deals with stocktaking.
The optional $filter argument is to allow for testing or explicit behavior that ignores the System Pref. Valid values are the same as the System Pref options.
FIXME: Should be replaced with Barcode::Cuecat from CPAN or Javascript based decoding on the client side.
($dotransfer, $messages, $iteminformation) = &transferbook($newbranch, $barcode, $ignore_reserves);
Transfers an item to a new branch. If the item is currently on loan, it is automatically returned before the actual transfer.
$newbranch is the code for the branch to which the item should be transferred.
$barcode is the barcode of the item to be transferred.
If $ignore_reserves is true,
&transferbook ignores reserves.
Otherwise,
if an item is reserved,
the transfer fails.
Returns three values:
is true if the transfer was successful.
is a reference-to-hash which may have any of the following keys:
BadBarcodeThere is no item in the catalog with the given barcode.
The value is $barcode.
IsPermanentThe item's home branch is permanent. This doesn't prevent the item from being transferred, though. The value is the code of the item's home branch.
DestinationEqualsHoldingThe item is already at the branch to which it is being transferred. The transfer is nonetheless considered to have failed. The value should be ignored.
WasReturnedThe item was on loan,
and &transferbook automatically returned it before transferring it.
The value is the borrower number of the patron who had the item.
ResFoundThe item was reserved.
The value is a reference-to-hash whose keys are fields from the reserves table of the Koha database,
and biblioitemnumber.
It also has the key ResFound,
whose value is either Waiting or Reserved.
WasTransferredThe item was eligible to be transferred. Barring problems communicating with the database, the transfer should indeed have succeeded. The value should be ignored.
@issues = &itemissues($biblioitemnumber, $biblio);
Looks up information about who has borrowed the book(s) with the given biblioitemnumber.
$biblio is ignored.
&itemissues returns an array of references-to-hash. The keys include the fields from the items table in the Koha database. Additional keys include:
date_dueIf the item is currently on loan, this gives the due date.
If the item is not on loan, then this is either "Available" or "Cancelled", if the item has been withdrawn.
cardIf the item is currently on loan, this gives the card number of the patron who currently has the item.
timestamp0, timestamp1, timestamp2These give the timestamp for the last three times the item was borrowed.
card0, card1, card2The card number of the last three patrons who borrowed this item.
borrower0, borrower1, borrower2The borrower number of the last three patrons who borrowed this item.
Check if a book can be issued.
( $issuingimpossible, $needsconfirmation ) = CanBookBeIssued( $borrower, $barcode, $duedatespec, $inprocess );
$issuingimpossible and $needsconfirmation are some hashref.
$borrower hash with borrower informations (from GetMemberDetails)$barcode is the bar code of the book being issued.$duedatespec is a C4::Dates object.$inprocessReturns :
$issuingimpossible a reference to a hash. It contains reasons why issuing is impossible. Possible values are :sticky due date is invalid
borrower gone with no address
borrower declared it's card lost
borrower debarred
barcode unknown
item is not for loan
item withdrawn.
item is restricted (set by ??)
$issuingimpossible a reference to a hash. It contains reasons why issuing is impossible. Possible values are :
borrower has debts.
renewing, not issuing
issued to someone else.
reserved for someone else.
sticky due date is invalid
if the borrower borrows to much things
Issue a book. Does no check, they are done in CanBookBeIssued. If we reach this sub, it means the user confirmed if needed.
&AddIssue($borrower, $barcode, [$datedue], [$cancelreserve], [$issuedate])
$borrower is a hash with borrower informations (from GetMemberDetails).$barcode is the barcode of the item being issued.$datedue is a C4::Dates object for the max date of return, i.e. the date due (optional). Calculated if empty.$cancelreserve is 1 to override and cancel any pending reserves for the item (optional).$issuedate is the date to issue the item in iso (YYYY-MM-DD) format (optional). Defaults to today. Unlike $datedue, NOT a C4::Dates object, unfortunately.AddIssue does the following things : - step 01: check that there is a borrowernumber & a barcode provided - check for RENEWAL (book issued & being issued to the same patron) - renewal YES = Calculate Charge & renew - renewal NO = * BOOK ACTUALLY ISSUED ? do a return if book is actually issued (but to someone else) * RESERVE PLACED ? - fill reserve if reserve to this patron - cancel reserve or not, otherwise * TRANSFERT PENDING ? - complete the transfert * ISSUE THE BOOK
Get loan length for an itemtype, a borrower type and a branch
my $loanlength = &GetLoanLength($borrowertype,$itemtype,branchcode)
FIXME - This is a copy-paste of GetLoanLength as a stop-gap. Do not wish to change API for GetLoanLength this close to release, however, Overdues::GetIssuingRules is broken.
Get the issuing rule for an itemtype, a borrower type and a branch Returns a hashref from the issuingrules table.
my $irule = &GetIssuingRule($borrowertype,$itemtype,branchcode)
my $branch_cat_rule = GetBranchBorrowerCircRule($branchcode, $categorycode);
Retrieves circulation rule attributes that apply to the given branch and patron category, regardless of item type. The return value is a hashref containing the following key:
maxissueqty - maximum number of loans that a patron of the given category can have at the given branch. If the value is undef, no limit.
This will first check for a specific branch and category match from branch_borrower_circ_rules.
If no rule is found, it will then check default_branch_circ_rules (same branch, default category). If no rule is found, it will then check default_borrower_circ_rules (default branch, same category), then failing that, default_circ_rules (default branch, default category).
If no rule has been found in the database, it will default to the buillt in rule:
maxissueqty - undef
$branchcode and $categorycode should contain the literal branch code and patron category code, respectively - no wildcards.
($doreturn, $messages, $iteminformation, $borrower) = &AddReturn($barcode, $branch, $exemptfine, $dropbox);
Returns a book.
$barcode is the bar code of the book being returned.$branch is the code of the branch where the book is being returned.$exemptfine indicates that overdue charges for the item will be removed.$dropbox indicates that the check-in date is assumed to be yesterday, or the last non-holiday as defined in C4::Calendar . If overdue charges are applied and $dropbox is true, the last charge will be removed. This assumes that the fines accrual script has run for _today_.&AddReturn returns a list of four items:
$doreturn is true iff the return succeeded.
$messages is a reference-to-hash giving the reason for failure:
BadBarcodeNo item with this barcode exists. The value is $barcode.
NotIssuedThe book is not currently on loan. The value is $barcode.
IsPermanentThe book's home branch is a permanent collection. If you have borrowed this book, you are not allowed to return it. The value is the code for the book's home branch.
wthdrawnThis book has been withdrawn/cancelled. The value should be ignored.
ResFoundThe item was reserved. The value is a reference-to-hash whose keys are fields from the reserves table of the Koha database, and biblioitemnumber. It also has the key ResFound, whose value is either Waiting, Reserved, or 0.
$iteminformation is a reference-to-hash, giving information about the returned item from the issues table.
$borrower is a reference-to-hash, giving information about the patron who last borrowed the book.
MarkIssueReturned($borrowernumber, $itemnumber, $dropbox_branch, $returndate);
Unconditionally marks an issue as being returned by moving the issues row to old_issues and setting returndate to the current date, or the last non-holiday date of the branccode specified in dropbox_branch . Assumes you've already checked that it's safe to do this, i.e. last non-holiday > issuedate.
if $returndate is specified (in iso format), it is used as the date of the return. It is ignored when a dropbox_branch is passed in.
Ideally, this function would be internal to C4::Circulation, not exported, but it is currently needed by one routine in C4::Accounts.
&FixOverduesOnReturn($brn,$itm, $exemptfine, $dropboxmode);
$brn borrowernumber
$itm itemnumber
$exemptfine BOOL -- remove overdue charge associated with this issue. $dropboxmode BOOL -- remove lastincrement on overdue charge associated with this issue.
internal function, called only by AddReturn
&FixAccountForLostAndReturned($iteminfo,$borrower);
Calculates the charge for a book lost and returned (Not exported & used only once)
$iteminfo is a hashref to iteminfo. Only {itemnumber} is used.
$borrower is a hashref to borrower. Only {borrowernumber is used.
Internal function, called by AddReturn
my $circ_control_branch = _GetCircControlBranch($iteminfos, $borrower);
Internal function :
Return the library code to be used to determine which circulation policy applies to a transaction. Looks up the CircControl and HomeOrHoldingBranch system preferences.
$iteminfos is a hashref to iteminfo. Only {itemnumber} is used.
$borrower is a hashref to borrower. Only {borrowernumber is used.
$issues = &GetItemIssue($itemnumber);
Returns patron currently having a book, or undef if not checked out.
$itemnumber is the itemnumber
$issues is an array of hashes.
$issues = &GetItemIssues($itemnumber, $history);
Returns patrons that have issued a book
$itemnumber is the itemnumber $history is false if you just want the current "issuer" (if any) and true if you want issues history from old_issues also.
Returns reference to an array of hashes
$issues = GetBiblioIssues($biblionumber);
this function get all issues from a biblionumber.
Return: $issues is a reference to array which each value is ref-to-hash. This ref-to-hash containts all column from tables issues and the firstname,surname & cardnumber from borrowers.
my $upcoming_dues = GetUpcomingDueIssues( { days_in_advance => 4 } );
($ok,$error) = &CanBookBeRenewed($borrowernumber, $itemnumber[, $override_limit]);
Find out whether a borrowed item may be renewed.
$dbh is a DBI handle to the Koha database.
$borrowernumber is the borrower number of the patron who currently has the item on loan.
$itemnumber is the number of the item to renew.
$override_limit, if supplied with a true value, causes the limit on the number of times that the loan can be renewed (as controlled by the item type) to be ignored.
$CanBookBeRenewed returns a true value iff the item may be renewed. The item must currently be on loan to the specified borrower; renewals must be allowed for the item's type; and the borrower must not have already renewed the loan. $error will contain the reason the renewal can not proceed
&AddRenewal($borrowernumber, $itemnumber, $branch, [$datedue], [$lastreneweddate]);
Renews a loan.
$borrowernumber is the borrower number of the patron who currently has the item.
$itemnumber is the number of the item to renew.
$branch is the library where the renewal took place (if any). The library that controls the circ policies for the renewal is retrieved from the issues record.
$datedue can be a C4::Dates object used to set the due date.
$lastreneweddate is an optional ISO-formatted date used to set issues.lastreneweddate. If this parameter is not supplied, lastreneweddate is set to the current date.
If $datedue is the empty string, &AddRenewal will calculate the due date automatically from the book's item type.
($charge, $item_type) = &GetIssuingCharges($itemnumber, $borrowernumber);
Calculate how much it would cost for a given patron to borrow a given item, including any applicable discounts.
$itemnumber is the item number of item the patron wishes to borrow.
$borrowernumber is the patron's borrower number.
&GetIssuingCharges returns two values: $charge is the rental charge, and $item_type is the code for the item's item type (e.g., VID if it's a video).
&AddIssuingCharge( $itemno, $borrowernumber, $charge )
GetTransfers($itemnumber);
@results = GetTransfersFromTo($frombranch,$tobranch);
Returns the list of pending transfers between $from and $to branch
&DeleteTransfer($itemnumber);
$rows = AnonymiseIssueHistory($borrowernumber,$date)
This function write NULL instead of $borrowernumber given on input arg into the table issues. if $borrowernumber is not set, it will delete the issue history for all borrower older than $date.
return the number of affected rows.
$items = updateWrongTransfer($itemNumber,$borrowernumber,$waitingAtLibrary,$FromLibrary);
This function validate the line of brachtransfer but with the wrong destination (mistake from a librarian ...), and create a new line in branchtransfer from the actual library to the original library of reservation
$items = UpdateHoldingbranch($branch,$itmenumber); Simple methode for updating hodlingbranch in items BDD line
$newdatedue = CalcDateDue($startdate,$loanlength,$branchcode); this function calculates the due date given the loan length , checking against the holidays calendar as per the 'useDaysMode' syspref. $startdate = C4::Dates object representing start date of loan period (assumed to be today) $branch = location whose calendar to use $loanlength = loan length prior to adjustment
$newdatedue = CheckValidDatedue($date_due,$itemnumber,$branchcode); this function validates the loan length against the holidays calendar, and adjusts the due date as per the 'useDaysMode' syspref. $date_due = returndate calculate with no day check $itemnumber = itemnumber $branchcode = location of issue (affected by 'CircControl' syspref) $loanlength = loan length prior to adjustment
$countrepeatable = CheckRepeatableHoliday($itemnumber,$week_day,$branchcode); this function checks if the date due is a repeatable holiday $date_due = returndate calculate with no day check $itemnumber = itemnumber $branchcode = localisation of issue
$countspecial = CheckSpecialHolidays($years,$month,$day,$itemnumber,$branchcode); this function check if the date is a special holiday $years = the years of datedue $month = the month of datedue $day = the day of datedue $itemnumber = itemnumber $branchcode = localisation of issue
$countspecial = CheckRepeatableSpecialHolidays($month,$day,$itemnumber,$branchcode); this function check if the date is a repeatble special holidays $month = the month of datedue $day = the day of datedue $itemnumber = itemnumber $branchcode = localisation of issue
