Allows temporary locations corresponding to 'in processing' and 'shelving'
so that newly-created items, and newly-returned items do not show
immediately as a available. Three new system preferences govern the usage
of these features.
NewItemsDefaultLocation. If system pref NewItemsDefaultLocation is set to a location code,
all newly catalogued items will be set to the location set in this preference.
Location code must be a valid LOC authorized value type.
InProcessingToShelvingCart. if the system pref InProcessingToShelvingCart is turned on,
any items run through returns.pl with a location code for 'PROC', will be modified to
have a new location code of 'CART'.
ReturnToShelvingCart. If the syspref ReturnToShelvingCart is turned on,
all items returned other than confirmed holds will have a new location code of 'CART'.
Any item issued is automatically taken of the shelving cart.
Adds a cron script shelf_to_cart.pl which should be run hourly.
Updates all items with a location of CART to the item's permanent location.
The original location code is stored in the new items column 'permanent_location'.
