Make Add an Item Work Order Configurable
When an "on-the-fly" item is created, loaned and returned by a patron, the item is automatically flagged for routing to the Acquisitions Work Order/Workflow.
In our institution, the ACQ Department does not work on these items, and this should not be the workflow that the materials are routed to, but we are unable to change the work order type.
We'd like to be able to configure or change the work order type for these materials, and also for the check-in process to more clearly delineate and note that the item is an "on-the-fly" item in particular. In the current process, it's not clear.

It'd be great if you could check (tick) whether a title has to go back to a 'real' cataloguing process when it is returned to the library after lending, or if it can go straight back on the shelf. It's rare that we need to do a full proper catalogue afterwards.
It would also be nice if materials other than books and articles could be represented in the 'create item' formula. "Other" would be helpful - it could be used for posters, musicals, tools and more.

This is also something that we are interested in for managing ILL loans.

The suggestion would work better for us also as we create records on the fly for non integrated broker ILL loans.

We would like this option, as well, so we can add temporary records for books we borrow through interlibrary loan.
