homebranch, holdingbranch, transfers
Hi, I have another tricky case to submit you concerning transfers, homebranch and holdingbranch. We have 3 main libraries and the check-in can be done in any of them and then they are transfered to the homebranch. But some items from library A are stored for few month in the library B (special bibliography for exams) : we tried to change only holgingbranch (=library B) and location for these items and to keep the homebranch (=library A). But each time they are checked-in, they are transfered to library A and the holdingbranch is also changed to library A. But we need these items to stay in library B for the next 6 months. I tried to put it in a course reserve but it doesn't change anything to the behaviour (transfer and holdingbranch change). We would like to keep the homebranch='library A' to know that they have to go back to this library in 6 months but we don't want to create transfer after every return. Does anyone have a tip to do this ?

Your may try this. You need a third item's field: sourcebranch. (1) When you move the batch of items from library A to B, create a text file containing items' barcodes. Then batch modify those items: sourcebranch=A homebranch=B holdingbranch=B (2) During the exams period, no transfer to A will be done at check-in. If the check-in is done at library A or C, the transfer to B will be proposed, which is what you want. (3) When you move back the batch of items to library A, do a batch modify using the text file create at 1: sourcebranch=A homebranch=A holdingbranch=A
You could also try: http://manual.koha-community.org/3.18/en/rotatingcollections.html You can also pick an unused item field (say $f) and store the transferdate and original bracnh there, that way you can find what needs to transfer using a report On Fri, Dec 4, 2015 at 11:02 AM Frédéric Demians <frederic@tamil.fr> wrote:
