The question might have been more specifically about tracking donors. We
put them directly into 952$e (which we've re-labeled as 'Source - donor')
and have an authorized value list of donors. As a charity (we have perhaps
98% of our holdings from donors) so this also allows us to produce
"tax-receipt inventories" per donor on the fly (sql tab limited
report.) Donors also get to see their names in the catalogue (unless of
course they have requested anonymity, in which case we fudge the OPAC name
in the auth. value.)

Hi Jo
I don't know the email address of this gentleman, can you forward my reply
to him, thanks
Hi Jack
We don't put on orders for donated items. We do a catalogue search, when
the correct record doesn't come up, we click on the Z39.50 search button
that comes up on the right hand side of the screen. We then do the Z39.50
search, find the record we want and download it. Once you have filled in
the relevant details and save the record, it automatically comes up with
the box for you to add the item details.
If there is not a Z39.50 record, you can go through the "cataloguing" tab
on the front page and add a new record. I just use the default framework
and fill in all the relevant details (and click in the right boxes) and
then it is just the same as above.
You can also go straight to the "cataloguing" tab to do a Z39.50 record
search without searching your catalogue first, if you prefer to do it that
way.
I hope this helps.

Afternoon Everyone,
In our library, we receive a lot of donated books. To better track where
they came from, I started using the Acquisition portion of
Koha. Apparently we are doing something wrong because we cannot seem to
receive the books after they have been put into an order.
We use a Vendor named Donations and have Baskets using the donors
name. We add the books to a basket using External Source (Z39) and use a
$0 for Vendor Price. After 1 to multiple items are added to the Basket,
we go back around to the Vendor and Receive Shipments. You are then asked
to put in the Invoice number which we use a date code. When you go to the
next step there are no items to receive.
The above process worked once for one Basket but will not work for other
Baskets. Iâve tried deleting and re-creating both orders and Baskets to
no avail.
We are running Version 3.16.04
Amazon ec2 server instance
OS is Ubuntu flavored
Any help would be appreciated.
