Hi Thanks for the information. In my Excel file I do have a column for 952$o and 050$a, but I do not know why the item records where not populated with the call numbers? Also my itemcallnumber in the Cataloguing global preferences is set to 050ab. I am now wondering is there is a script or mysql query that I can run to update the item call numbers.

I am aware there is a settings that you have to setup >for the item records to pick the call number form bib.? I will appreciate any hint. > If you imported from Excel, then you should have made sure that your call number is mapped to 952$o. Then your call number will appear on item records. if you used Marcedit for translating your Excel file to MARC, this should be easy. However if you were doing copy cataloging and you wanted the call number to show up in items, then you should set the itemcallnumber under the cataloging system preference. For example if you were using LC then you would enter 050ab into the itemcallnumber field. You can check http://manual.koha-community.org/3.10/en/administration.html#catprefs for more info. I am not sure setting the itemcallnumber will work for imported data. Others may be able to confirm. I usually populate the field while converting data using MarcEdit. Hope this helps.
