[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Price for Pre-Cats

[Scott Thomas]

Hi,
   For ILLs, we do not catalog them beforehand. 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

We (York County also) are moving to a new Wordpress website.  We don't
imagine any interaction between the web site and Evergreen other than
search widgets but in theory it's possible to script interaction between
them (pull over hours to populate pages and things like that).  It's likely
to be more hassle than it's worth unless you have someone sitting around
who enjoys those kinds of scripting/coding projets though.
