Description Olli-Antti Kivilahti 2014-10-06 07:23:43 UTC
Just noticed we have ~1500 items with items.location == CART and items.permanent_location == CART. No idea how to replicate this issue. Probably related to Bug 7817.

This leads to loss of location data for Items.
Comment 1 Jonathan Druart 2015-09-02 14:04:26 UTC
Any idea how this could happen?
Comment 2 Olli-Antti Kivilahti 2015-09-03 07:32:31 UTC
This was fixed by Bug 7817.

permanent_location was set when the Item was created, but it was lost when the Item was under the influence of cart_to_shelf.pl-cronjob and manually edited, before the cronjob updated the location to the original location. :)

Because we have a custom call number prefix mapping feature, we managed to rebuild the correct locations based on the call number prefix,
eg:
Prefix => Branch, location
PKA => CPL, Bookshelf
PKL => CPL, Serials shelf
PKM => CPL, Musics shelf

Other cart_to_shelf.pl-users might not have been so lucky.
I think we have had over 3000 Items lose their shelving locations due to this bug, but luckily all automatically corrected.
