Replacement cost deleting or changing on batch modification
Hi, all. We are having a problem with batch modification, and I hope someone out there has found a work around or way to fix it. We have a default replacement price of $15. This is inserted in the item record when we create an item. The only time we use this is when the item is a gift and has no price attached to it. Otherwise, we use the retail price for the item. This of course flags circ when an item is lost or damaged and needs to be replaced by the patron. The problem we are having is the actual replacement price is being replaced by the default price when we do batch modification on one or multiple items. We tried taking out the default price in our settings, but then it just replaces the replacement price with nothing. Has anyone else run into this problem? If so, did you find a fix for it? I'm wondering if there is something about Koha we are missing. Thanks in advance! -- ======================================================== *Jim Maroon *
Have you filed a bug report for this behavior? If not, that is where I would start.

Thanks, Kyle. We have created a ticket with our vendor, and hopefully they will enter a bug report for it if they can't figure out how to get it to work. I was just trying to see if anyone else in the community had the same problem and perhaps had seen a way to make this work. This is such an obvious problem that it is difficult for us to understand how no one else had yet encountered it before us. On Mon, Apr 8, 2013 at 6:48 AM, Kyle Hall <kyle.m.hall@gmail.com> wrote:
