Hi Lori, We use uppercase letters in our barcodes, for example A70022330679B, and have never had a problem with Koha and these type of Barcodes. Our patrons records, in their barcode having the leading zeros, for example 008910067. We have also never had a problem with Koha and these Barcodes.
From my experience, they are both perfectly good to use with Koha.
Kindest Regards, Joel

Does anyone have any barcodes that use leading zeros and upper and lower case letters? I am working with a library who has barcodes that look like "p 000123" which they need to have interpreted as "P123".
Any thoughts about how Koha would handle that?
Lori
