Description

I have been enlightened to the fact that the regular shelving location is stored in the permanent_location field. A fact that wasn't very clear until I read the descriptions better. So the report issue is moot, except for the fact that I have to update over 250 reports to the permanent_location field instead of location. This does point out a bit of craziness in Koha, in that the term permanent location in the actual item record refers to the branch location, not a shelving location! Anyway, a major issue still exists in that you CANNOT see the permanent_location information in the item record. All you can see is the temporary shelving location. This should be rectified. Just a note: before we change to a bit - there is also a PROCESS status that uses the permanent_location mechanism.

I hope the reports have been fixed in the last 7 years ;) > This does point out a bit of craziness in Koha, in that the term permanent > location in the actual item record refers to the branch location, not a > shelving location! The descriptions of item subfields have been fixed since, but only for new installations. The previous permanent location is now home library. > Anyway, a major issue still exists in that you CANNOT see the > permanent_location information in the item record.
