What we were thinking when we requested this enhancement was to have an item checkouted to a users show up on their accounts as one checkout but have the Koha statistics count the number of pieces of the item as the number of material issued. For example a DVD set with 5 discs would count in the statistics as five checkout/issues in the stats. I definitely think this should be configurable by item type, possibly by library as well. I can see the reason for wanting to do it for your example, but might not want to count as multiple items for say, a kit that includes a sewing machine and a power cord listed as different materials on the record.

Yes, that's basically the idea. It sounds like this enhancement would require the creation of a new item type. However, if we could make it a record specific setting that would be our preference. So a field where number of items are listed and count toward circs check box (checking would mean yes count them as circs). This is probably pipe dream stuff but why not aim high? +1 on this. This would be a handy feature. I prefer Daniel's idea of a number stored in the item record so that it's easy to deal with the fact that items are likely to all have different numbers of items. |
