Bug Description
Steps to recreate:
1) In the Library Settings Editor, set the "pre-cat item circ lib" to a string that isn't a shortname (e.g. ABC123)
2) Try checking out a pre-cat item.
3) Try retrieving this pre-cat item using Item Status. You will get the message "Item Not Found". I'm assuming that this means that pre-cat item creation failed silently?
Tested on Webby 3.0 beta.
Confirmed Evergreen version 3.2.1
The behavior I see is a bit different, though. When attempting the pre-cat checkout, the item does not check out to the patron. So, a successful checkout doesn't appear to occur (Items Out count does not update either).
A note: in order for me to recreate this bug, the Library Setting had to be erroneously set for the org unit location (branch) or higher (system / consortium) for the checkout workstation.
