Hello Katrin, Thank you for your reply. Upon my research I was/am also leaning towards a solution like that: assigning the copy number with the homebranch prefix. It'll still be needed to reprint labels for the delta items, but at least Koha will allow for checkin/checkout. Thanks, Pedro Amorim 2017-06-26 19:09 GMT+00:00 Katrin <katrin.fischer.83@web.de>:
Hi Pedro,
you are right, at the moment a barcode in the item is still needed for checkouts to work. We have used another value as a replacement for the barcode in the past, duplicating the (unique) callnumber into the barcode field or assigning a number with a special prefix or something like that.
Hope that helps,
Katrin

Hello everyone,
I imported records with *dedupbarcode* option and some of them were imported with no barcode, because there were already some items with the same barcode, as expected.
Now, I want to be able to check out some of the items that have no barcode information, and tried the syspref *itemBarcodeFallbackSearch*. This is nice because in the check out interface I can now input other information (callnumber, copy number, record title) and still retrieve the item. However, it seems that this search only provides the items that actually have barcode information associated with it.
In the code: https://github.com/Koha-Community/Koha/blob/master/circ/ circulation.pl#L359
It seems that the item is only added to the list of options if there is, in fact, bar code information. After a couple of tests, it never returns the items with no barcode, only the ones that have it. Has anyone tried this? Is this the expected behaviour?
Thanks,
