Re: [Koha] Syspref itemBarcodeFallbackSearch

[Pedro Amorim]

Hello Katrin,

Thank you for your reply.
Upon my research I was/am also leaning towards a solution like that:
assigning the copy number with the homebranch prefix.
It'll still be needed to reprint labels for the delta items, but at least
Koha will allow for checkin/checkout.

Thanks,

Pedro Amorim

Re: [Koha] Syspref itemBarcodeFallbackSearch

Hi Pedro,

you are right, at the moment a barcode in the item is still needed for 
checkouts to work. We have used another value as a replacement for the 
barcode in the past, duplicating the (unique) callnumber into the 
barcode field or assigning a number with a special prefix or something 
like that.


Hope that helps,

Katrin

Hello everyone,

I imported records with *dedupbarcode* option and some of them were
imported with no barcode, because there were already some items with the
same barcode, as expected.

Now, I want to be able to check out some of the items that have no barcode
information, and tried the syspref *itemBarcodeFallbackSearch*. This is
nice because in the check out interface I can now input other information
(callnumber, copy number, record title) and still retrieve the item.
However, it seems that this search only provides the items that actually
have barcode information associated with it.

In the code:
https://github.com/Koha-Community/Koha/blob/master/circ/circulation.pl#L359

It seems that the item is only added to the list of options if there is, in
fact, bar code information.
After a couple of tests, it never returns the items with no barcode, only
the ones that have it. Has anyone tried this? Is this the expected
behaviour?

[Koha] Syspref itemBarcodeFallbackSearch

[Pedro Amorim]

Hello everyone,

I imported records with *dedupbarcode* option and some of them were
imported with no barcode, because there were already some items with the
same barcode, as expected.

Now, I want to be able to check out some of the items that have no barcode
information, and tried the syspref *itemBarcodeFallbackSearch*. This is
nice because in the check out interface I can now input other information
(callnumber, copy number, record title) and still retrieve the item.
However, it seems that this search only provides the items that actually
have barcode information associated with it.

In the code:
https://github.com/Koha-Community/Koha/blob/master/circ/circulation.pl#L359

It seems that the item is only added to the list of options if there is, in
fact, bar code information.
After a couple of tests, it never returns the items with no barcode, only
the ones that have it. Has anyone tried this? Is this the expected
behaviour?

Thanks,

Pedro Amorim
