Re: [Koha-devel] Some doubts about issuing rules

[Andrés Tarallo]

Working on this feature I've noticed that there's a itemnumber field in 
the reserves table, that is unused. We plan to build this feature using 
this field.

For doing that I'm modifing the CreateReserve to let it reserve items. 
This feature will be enabled by adding the itemnumber as an extra 
parameter.

As always any feedback appreciated.
