So the question is really what are the purpose and use of the CURRENT LOCATION as opposed to the PERMANENT LOCATION.
"Location" refers to shelving location within a library. Koha has various ways to manage temporary shelving locations and they require a corresponding permanent location. For instance, in the documentation on authorized values: "CART: Is the shelving cart location, used by InProcessingToShelvingCart and ReturnToShelvingCart PROC: The location to be used for NewItemsDefaultLocation (change description as desired), also the location expected by InProcessingToShelvingCart." https://koha-community.org/manual/20.05/en/html/administration.html?highligh... See this cron job: "Script path: misc/cronjobs/cart_to_shelf.pl: Does: updates all items with a location of CART to the item’s permanent location." https://koha-community.org/manual/20.05/en/html/cron_jobs.html?highlight=car... -- Owen -- Web Developer Athens County Public Libraries (740) 737-6006 https://www.myacpl.org
