Description Patrick Robitaille 2017-12-01 14:32:05 UTC
Hi, 

When you edit field (090, 050, 02 etc.)for the call number for a bibliographic record in koha. the new information dont`t update in the item record (0). The call number given from the bibliographic record should be reproduced in the item record in the field provided for this purpose when a change in the rating in the bibliographic record. We should Make a match from the bibliographic field to the "o" field (dimension) of the item and not vice versa. Even if there are sometimes additions to the call number of the item and it is necessary to open the item for it, it is the same call number essentially. Therefore a modification of the call number in the field provided for this purpose in the bibliographic record should lead automatically to the same modification to the item since there must be a correspondence between these two fields.

Patrcik,

To change this behavior would be an enhancement which would require the ability to turn it on and off. My library depends on Koha working the way it does, so it would need to be optional.
Comment 2 Katrin Fischer 2017-12-02 23:30:11 UTC
I agree with Owen, this behaviour is not standard and could only be added as optional. For example in a lot of our libraries the item callnumber is unique per item and there is only a base callnumber in the bibliographic record.

Perhaps an optional message when bib and item-level call numbers don't match?

Yep, all Owen and I meant there needs to be a switch to turn this on and off. If your item-level call numbers intentionally never match, you don't want the extra click or information about the intended mismatch :)
