Hi Bruck,
that's a wild guess now, but it's something we have seen happen: an
extra space somewhere will not show in your SQL queries and results -
branchcodes with and without will even group together. But Perl notices
the difference when comparing strings. Say Koha finds "WIDER" in the
item, but your configured branch is "WIDER " - then it will attempt to
send it to the latter and put the item 'in transit'.
I am not quite sure how to best check for that, something along these
lines might work:
SELECT * from items WHERE
CHAR_LENGTH(homebranch) != CHAR_LENGTH("WIDER")
OR CHAR_LENGTH(holding) != CHAR_LENGTH("WIDER");
SELECT * from branches WHERE CHAR_LENGTH(branchcode) !=
CHAR_LENGTH("WIDER")
Also: Check if you have default values set for $a $b in your frameworks
and if there are any extra spaces there.
Hope this helps,
Katrin

Hi Katrin,
Thanks, please see below the result of the queries. After encountering the
problem, we added a value (the same value as our home branch since we only have
one library) to the branch in the backend. The system picks it as a separate
entity and a checked in item is set to ‘in transit’. Somehow, adding the
branch value cause another issue in our check-in. And it did not resolve our
existing branch problem. All these functions were working well before our
upgrade.

Hi Bruck,
first thing that comes to mind is if you have modified your frameworks from the
default, especially the 952 fields?
Some things that could be interesting:
select homebranch, holdingbranch from items group by homebranch, holdingbranch;
You should then see if there are values that are not valid branchcodes in your
system.
What does the configuration of your 952 fields look like? Especially $a and $b?
select tagfield, tagsubfield from marc_subfield_structure where
authorised_value="branches";
What does your item form look like? For example you can compare it to one of
our demo installations that should be closer to default.
Maybe this could get you a step closer.

Hi Bruck,
the web link hasn't worked for me in a while - the #koha tab doesn't open and
only the status one is shown for me. Do you have access to a program like
pidgin or another IRC client maybe that you could use instead?

Hi Jonathan,
I have been connected to this Koha channel
(https://webchat.oftc.net/?channels=koha) through a browser for a while now,
but I do not see any activity. May be I am not in the right, Can you send me
the link to the right channel.

I am expecting to see something just before this error. Maybe you did not
restart plack?
Consider jumping into IRC and catch me there, that would be easier ;)

Have a look at the Koha log file, you should see the value of $value in it.

Thanks, the SQL query returns empty set. I have also added the debug statement
just before the line 1627 and there is no change to the error message. Thinking
it is a browser cache issue, I changed computer and browser, the debug

This is how it looks now in ...C4/biblio.pm

Bruck,
My understanding of the error is that you have a field that is mapped with the
"authorised value" branches (that's not a real authorised value). But at least
one of those field has a value that is not a branchcode defined in your system.
The weird thing is that, by default, only item's fields are mapped with "branches", 952$a
and 952$b Can you try this SQL query: select tagfield, tagsubfield from marc_subfield_structure
where authorised_value="branches" and tagfield != 952; Does it return something?
To know which value we are searching search, you could also add a
debug statement warn $value; before
1627 return Koha::Libraries->find($value)->branchname;
Regards,
Jonathan

Hello Bruck,
This query (UPDATE items SET homebranch='LIB', holdingbranch='LIB') ) is very
dangerous.
This will set all (homebranch and holdingbranch ) in your items table to be LIB
for all items!
if that is not what you want, then try to retrieve a backup from (
/var/spool/koha ) or anywhere else you store your backups .
Please note that LIB should be one of your branches custom code. so are you
sure it is LIB in your Koha installation ?
Regards.

Hi All,
I have just recently upgraded to 17.05 from 16.05 and when I try to edit items on Koha, it throws the
following error "Can't call method "branchname" on an undefined value at

the two fields<https://lists.katipo.co.nz/public/koha/2017-September/048966.html> (UPDATE items SET
