C4::Reserves - Koha functions for dealing with reservation.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use C4::Reserves;

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This modules provides somes functions to deal with reservations.

  Reserves are stored in reserves table.
  The following columns contains important values :
  - priority >0      : then the reserve is at 1st stage, and not yet affected to any item.
             =0      : then the reserve is being dealed
  - found : NULL       : means the patron requested the 1st available, and we haven't choosen the item
            T(ransit)  : the reserve is linked to an item but is in transit to the pickup branch
            W(aiting)  : the reserve is linked to an item, is at the pickup branch, and is waiting on the hold shelf
            F(inished) : the reserve has been completed, and is done
  - itemnumber : empty : the reserve is still unaffected to an item
                 filled: the reserve is attached to an item
  The complete workflow is :
  ==== 1st use case ====
  patron request a document, 1st available :                      P >0, F=NULL, I=NULL
  a library having it run "transfertodo", and clic on the list    
         if there is no transfer to do, the reserve waiting
         patron can pick it up                                    P =0, F=W,    I=filled 
         if there is a transfer to do, write in branchtransfer    P =0, F=T,    I=filled
           The pickup library recieve the book, it check in       P =0, F=W,    I=filled
  The patron borrow the book                                      P =0, F=F,    I=filled
  
  ==== 2nd use case ====
  patron requests a document, a given item,
    If pickup is holding branch                                   P =0, F=W,   I=filled
    If transfer needed, write in branchtransfer                   P =0, F=T,    I=filled
        The pickup library receive the book, it checks it in      P =0, F=W,    I=filled
  The patron borrow the book                                      P =0, F=F,    I=filled

=head1 FUNCTIONS

=cut

    AddReserve($branch,$borrowernumber,$biblionumber,$constraint,$bibitems,$priority,$resdate,$expdate,$notes,$title,$checkitem,$found)

=cut

=head2 GetReservesFromBiblionumber

  ($count, $title_reserves) = &GetReserves($biblionumber);

This function gets the list of reservations for one C<$biblionumber>, returning a count
of the reserves and an arrayref pointing to the reserves for C<$biblionumber>.

 ( $reservedate, $borrowernumber, $branchcode ) = GetReservesFromItemnumber($itemnumber);

TODO :: Description here

=cut

=head2 GetReservesFromBorrowernumber

    $borrowerreserv = GetReservesFromBorrowernumber($borrowernumber,$tatus);

TODO :: Descritpion

=cut

=head2 CanBookBeReserved

  $error = &CanBookBeReserved($borrowernumber, $biblionumber)

=cut

=head2 CanItemBeReserved

  $error = &CanItemBeReserved($borrowernumber, $itemnumber)

This function return 1 if an item can be issued by this borrower.

=cut

=head2 GetReserveCount

  $number = &GetReserveCount($borrowernumber);

this function returns the number of reservation for a borrower given on input arg.

=cut

=head2 GetOtherReserves

  ($messages,$nextreservinfo)=$GetOtherReserves(itemnumber);

Check queued list of this document and check if this document must be  transfered

=cut

=head2 GetReserveFee

  $fee = GetReserveFee($borrowernumber,$biblionumber,$constraint,$biblionumber);

Calculate the fee for a reserve

=cut

=head2 GetReservesToBranch

  @transreserv = GetReservesToBranch( $frombranch );

Get reserve list for a given branch

=cut

=head2 GetReservesForBranch

  @transreserv = GetReservesForBranch($frombranch);

=cut

=head2 CheckReserves

  ($status, $reserve, $all_reserves) = &CheckReserves($itemnumber);
  ($status, $reserve, $all_reserves) = &CheckReserves(undef, $barcode);

Find a book in the reserves.

C<$itemnumber> is the book's item number.

As I understand it, C<&CheckReserves> looks for the given item in the
reserves. If it is found, that's a match, and C<$status> is set to
C<Waiting>.

Otherwise, it finds the most important item in the reserves with the
same biblio number as this book (I'm not clear on this) and returns it
with C<$status> set to C<Reserved>.

C<&CheckReserves> returns a two-element list:

C<$status> is either C<Waiting>, C<Reserved> (see above), or 0.

C<$reserve> is the reserve item that matched. It is a
reference-to-hash whose keys are mostly the fields of the reserves
table in the Koha database.

=cut

=head2 CancelExpiredReserves

  CancelExpiredReserves();

Cancels all reserves with an expiration date from before today.

=cut

=head2 CancelReserve

  &CancelReserve($biblionumber, $itemnumber, $borrowernumber);

Cancels a reserve.

Use either C<$biblionumber> or C<$itemnumber> to specify the item to
cancel, but not both: if both are given, C<&CancelReserve> does
nothing.

C<$borrowernumber> is the borrower number of the patron on whose
behalf the book was reserved.

If C<$biblionumber> was given, C<&CancelReserve> also adjusts the
priorities of the other people who are waiting on the book.

=cut

=head2 ModReserve

  ModReserve($rank, $biblio, $borrower, $branch[, $itemnumber])

Change a hold request's priority or cancel it.

C<$rank> specifies the effect of the change.  If C<$rank>
is 'W' or 'n', nothing happens.  This corresponds to leaving a
request alone when changing its priority in the holds queue
for a bib.

If C<$rank> is 'del', the hold request is cancelled.

If C<$rank> is an integer greater than zero, the priority of
the request is set to that value.  Since priority != 0 means
that the item is not waiting on the hold shelf, setting the 
priority to a non-zero value also sets the request's found
status and waiting date to NULL. 

The optional C<$itemnumber> parameter is used only when
C<$rank> is a non-zero integer; if supplied, the itemnumber 
of the hold request is set accordingly; if omitted, the itemnumber
is cleared.

B<FIXME:> Note that the forgoing can have the effect of causing
item-level hold requests to turn into title-level requests.  This
will be fixed once reserves has separate columns for requested
itemnumber and supplying itemnumber.

=cut

=head2 ModReserveFill

  &ModReserveFill($reserve);

Fill a reserve. If I understand this correctly, this means that the
reserved book has been found and given to the patron who reserved it.

C<$reserve> specifies the reserve to fill. It is a reference-to-hash
whose keys are fields from the reserves table in the Koha database.

=cut

=head2 ModReserveStatus

  &ModReserveStatus($itemnumber, $newstatus);

Update the reserve status for the active (priority=0) reserve.

$itemnumber is the itemnumber the reserve is on

$newstatus is the new status.

=cut

=head2 ModReserveAffect

  &ModReserveAffect($itemnumber,$borrowernumber,$diffBranchSend);

This function affect an item and a status for a given reserve
The itemnumber parameter is used to find the biblionumber.
with the biblionumber & the borrowernumber, we can affect the itemnumber
to the correct reserve.

if $transferToDo is not set, then the status is set to "Waiting" as well.
otherwise, a transfer is on the way, and the end of the transfer will 
take care of the waiting status
