Hi Lise, How is the template applied? When we do pre-cats, the form asks for very basic information including the Circ Modifier. Do you apply the template using Edit Item Attributes after the pre-cat is created?
Thank you, Scott From: Open-ils-general [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Elisabeth Keppler Sent: Thursday, October 29, 2015 9:12 AM To: Evergreen Discussion Group <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Price for Pre-Cats Even pre-cats can have an Item Attributes Template applied to them. For ILLs, we use a template that includes a price of $50.00 to ensure that patrons are prevented from using services anywhere in the consortium until the overdue ILL is returned. Hope that helps.

This may work for you, though, if all your cataloged items do have a value in the price field. Hope this helps, Michele -- Michele M.

Instead, the person at the circulation desk receives the Pre-Catalog prompt when they scan in a barcode that does not exist in the system and then they fill out the Pre-Catalog Fields. It is important, for these items, to populate the Price field in the item record with a default of $25.00 because this is what triggers a submission to our debt collection agency. Is there a way to have the Price field in the item record populate with a default value? I was hoping EG would allow us to associate a default price with a Circ Modifier, but I could not find this. Am I missing something? Thank you, Scott Scott Thomas, MLS Head of Information Technologies and Technical Services Scranton Public Library Lackawanna County Library System 2006 N.
