There is a very old bug report and fix-suggestion for this in Bugzilla: How long is a hold waiting for pickup at a more granular level

#05: DEFINING DIFFERENT FEES ACCORDING TO THE RULES

Holds not checked out in time: defining different fees according to the patron category, branch (library), or item type (In Community Version on sys pref level only?) (Making holds may be free but you need to pay a "fine" if you don't come and claim the hold before it expires.)

Koskenee myös asiakasryhmäkohtaiset asetukset? - MinnaK: Mitä tällä tarkoitetaan. Asiakastyyppien määrityksissä on hold fee, jolla tarkoitetaan varausmaksua joka peritään varauksesta joka tapauksessa. Tässä toiminnossa tarkoitetaan maksua, joka peritään, jos asiakas ei nouda varaustaan ajoissa.

and this discussion in english

There is a hold fee -setting in patron categories, but it is a different thing. Patron category hold fee is charged when making a hold or when hold is picked up depending on system preference HoldFeeMode.

In this case we are discussing about fee that is charged if a patron does not pick up hold in time.

National Library: fines differ according to the patron category and by item type

How to test component part functionalities - instructions: Osakohdetoiminnallisuuksien testaaminen KV-versiossa

  • Is the Community Version solution, i.e. the structure of MARC field 773, suitable for the library's needs?
  • Will links in the current version work properly in the Community Version? In other words, will the records require conversion?
  • Are their tools for handling component parts missing in the staff interface? Is there a list of component parts in the host record (aka parent record) view?


National Library: both component parts and bound volumes

Tritonia: bound volumes, not a priority

Varastokirjasto: also bound volumes, not a priority. Music is important, and how they show in Finna. 

Jyväskylän yliopisto: bound volumes, music as it comes from Melinda

Kansallisarkisto: bound volumes

This bug fix made to Koha-Suomi is needed. When a book is returned by self service station and there is a reservation, the pickup notice should not be send until the book is returned again by staff. There is a syspreff for this feature in Koha-Suomi 
RequireSCCheckInBeforeNotifyingPickups.
