Lezlie- You could try exporting the marc records from Koha and then moving the 050 data to the 942 callnumber field (h and m?) using your favorite marc editor. Then reimport the records matching and overlaying on the biblionumber 999c. The cn_sort in items is autogenerated by the value in itemcallnumber. I would expect the same behavior in biblioitems. But, again, it is not something I have direct knowledge of. Or, yes, you can create item records that contain the classification source and callnumber. Koha will generate the cn_sort for you. Good luck! joy On Thu, Feb 11, 2016 at 8:34 AM, Shell, Lezlie < Lezlie.Shell@contractor.cengage.com> wrote:
The records I bulk imported had this 942: =942 \\$2lcc$cEBK
So, if biblioitems.cn_sort was going to be generated by Koha the way items.cnsort is generated it should be populated?
Guess I’ll be doing item records, after all.
Thanks!

Lezlie-
I generally don't ever populate the biblioitems callnumber fields. I'm wondering also if those fields are holdovers from a previous version of Koha. The itemcallnumber, classification and cn_sort values I work with are all in the items table.
If the biblioitems.cn_sort value is to be populated it would also need to know the schema in the 942$2 ddc/loc/etc.
Anyone else populating these fields in biblioitems??

Yet another instance of retroactive clarity.
I am looking at the biblioitems table in Administration/Koha to MARC mapping.
I did not have a value 942|6 in my 942 import field.
If I had populated 942$6 with my 050 tag contents, would Koha have created the sortable version and populated biblioitems.cn_sort?
Thanks!

We just imported our collection into our new Koha installation. It went really smoothly.
Based on the schema, though, I was expecting to find a sortable call number in biblioitems.cn_sort. Since we don't circulate any materials, I didn't create any items. Is there something I needed to set or map to populate this field when I redo the import? Or, should I just add item information?
