Description José Anjos 2021-12-09 15:30:45 UTC
The System Preference autoBarcode have this option: <branchcode>yymm0001
It would be very useful to our Library if there we have the option just <branchcode>
The other part of the barcode it would be manually inserted.

The reason is to avoid mistakes because our School Librarians always forget to start barcode with <branchcode>.
Thank you very much

Maybe instead of using AutoBarcode for this which is a number generator, there could be a BarcodePrefix configuration option somewhere.

This feature would be very useful for Kohas for library networks. Actually the prefix has to be put in by hand to create different barcodes when two libraries have the same barcode, but share one Koha system.
Comment 3 Katrin Fischer 2025-09-20 11:14:21 UTC
I am not sure if it makes sense as an option of the autoBarcode system preference or not, as this is about auto-generating numbers, but it might be the easiest option.
