Description Marcel de Rooy 2014-08-25 10:36:34 UTC
This report is a followup of bug 7817 which deals with removing internal item field permanent_location from the MARC structure.

Unfortunately, there is some history in Koha on using paidfor in the MARC structure as local note etc.
Comment 1 Katrin Fischer 2017-02-19 22:28:14 UTC
The paidfor field was historically used for the internal item note (952$y in MARC21) for some time in the default frameworks. I think we cannot be sure that all libraries migrated that information into itemnotes_nonpublic by now. So we will need to be careful about removing it and possibly print a warning when there is still data in it.

I am not aware of another current use of it.

Moving this to be a duplicate of bug 19919 as it also discusses the removal.
