New Features: Pickup Location and Transfers

We have a number of new features for our customers that work with multiple locations. Specifically, this releases builds upon our recent work to specify and control how pickup locations are handled, and allows you to transfer items between locations. New features allow your users to specify where they want to pick up a reservation and myTurn will help ensure you transfer items to the pickup location on time.

There new Transfer and Receive workflows:
- Inventory -> Transfer
  - Lets you know any items that need to be transferred to another location for an upcoming reservation or to return the item to it’s Home Location or Branch.
  - Allows you to start the Transfer process and to print out a “transfer slip”
- Inventory -> Receive
  - Lets you receive items that have been transferred to your location
  - This workflow will also let you know if the items were transferred for an upcoming reservation so you can set them aside for pickup.
Admins will now get a warning when an item is checked in:
- One or more items need to be transferred to another location for a reservation
- Or items that should be sent back to their “home” inventory location
Temporarily transfer items to another location with a more formal “transfer” process

You can also require that users can only reserve items from their home location (one location at a time), if you do not want to allow inter-location transfers.
