The pre-cat copy is created by ILL software when it is being sent to an Evergreen library to fulfill a hold there. A hold is also created at the target location.
When the staff check that copy out, they still get the dialog about a non-cataloged item, even in the presence of the hold.
I'd like that dialog to not show up.
After looking through the circulation code a bit more in relation to this and an unrelated question about an enhancement, I think there may be a bug in the current code that it is failing to find the holds.
I have not had a lot of time to devote to that, though.
Actually, after proofreading the above, I think I know what the problem may be, and it may be in the NCIPServer software. I'll do some more testing and update this bug by either marking it invalid or adding a potential fix, if it does turn out to be a bug in Evergreen.
Mike,
Here's the workflow that I have in mind:
