Hello all. I'm testing checkouts and returns. I have configured itemBarcodeFallbackSearch parameter as enabled. I've tested for chekouts and runs well: if I type the title instead of barcode I get a button with the title and barcode to select. But for returns it seems doesn't work: the only way to select the item is typing the barcode. Shouldn't be the correct behaviour to show a list of items when I type the title or author? Regards and thanks in adanced
If this is a desirable feature, a good place to start would be to file a bug at http://bugs.koha-community.org. :) Quite sure that having this functionality for the returns was not part of the spec for the original barcode fallback search development. Cheers, Liz On 10/12/15 10:09, Nombre wrote:

I thought this parameter was applied for returns too, for checkout and return. Maybe a handicap for us because we have not barcodes printed on items. Perhaps the rout would be : from catalog to the item, from the item to user and from the user to loaned items.

Hi, you can't return them via the return page currently, but it's possible from the patron account. Hope this helps, Katrin Am 09.12.2015 um 22:09 schrieb Nombre:

If I remember correctly, the sponsoring library for that feature added barcodes to unbarcoded items as they were issued (but didn't want to barcode their whole collection at once), so did not sponsor development of an unbarcoded return feature because they weren't using it... we probably gave the parameter a more general name in the hope it would be used to develop that feature in future, but we've not yet been paid to do it. More accurate detail may be lurking somewhere in the bugs pages.
