Issues and Transfers (RBA) - There is no visibility on the reservation type allowing you to issue against a soft reservation

In the Role Based Application (RBA) for Issues and Transfers, in Issue Reserved Items there is no reference to the type of reservation. In many cases only HARD or APHARD reservations will be issued, SOFT and BACKORDER will probably never be issued, and in many cases, clients will wait for the APSOFT to become APHARD before issuing the item, so there is no reason to convert a reservation to an Inventory Usage record until the reservations are HARD or APHARD.

There are exceptions. The reservation type should be displayed. I think also it would be useful to have two queries, one for HARD/APHARD and one for all reservations.

    Thank you for the feedback, we are currently working on the design to display the reservation type information for Reserved items.
