Hi Nitesh,<div>A better way would be to import the Item data along <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> with biblio information. You can use 952 tags for item information and convert the complete data to MARC using something like MarcEdit. Them import it using Koha's bulk import or the web ui.</div>

Hello all.<div><br></div><div>I am using KOHA since more than a year now. Whenever we have a client who has to migrate there data to KOHA, we are only able to convert their Records and not Items. This is one of the thing that we are not able to implement KOHA in such a large scale.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Last month, we went to Bangladesh at East West University, to implement KOHA there. The records were migrated very easily as usual, but the problem was with items.</div><div>They had a lot of items with all barcodes already set. They wanted all the items imported in KOHA with the same barcode.</div>
<div><br></div><div>With the IT persons there, we made an excel sheet with the items and barcodes and inserted them in the "items" table. The process was successful and then all the records had items shown while browsing them.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Now we have a problem. When we find a record by biblionumber, it shows the items and their barcodes, but when we find the same record in the search result it only shows 1 item. Also, while scanning the barcode, it says no items found.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I have already rebuild zebra many times. What may be the solution for this? </div><div><br></div><div>Please Help.</div><div><br></div><div>PS: we only inserted data in "items" table, but there is a "marcxml" field in "biblioitems" whose value also has the subfield information. So, what is the actual way? When I add new item through koha interface, which tables does it affect?<br clear="all">
