Hello Our vendor wrote a patch correcting a bug in acquisition notes management. (http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=9438) But as Katrin Fisher pointed out, "the confusing behaviour has been there for a long while." So we want to be sure everybody agrees with the new behavior... Here is a description of the bug : When you create a new order in a basket from an existing record , Koha search for the field "notes" (300 unimarc, 500 marc21) in the record, and copy its content in the "notes" field of the order line. But the note in 300/500 fields contains bibliographic information ("contains index" etc), whereas "note" field on the ordeline contains information regarding the order ("very urgent" etc). So the patch breaks the connexion between bibliographic note and acquisition note. Does everybody agrees with this patch? Regards, M.

I agree with this patch, and think it should be applied unless folks can give specific examples of vendors or library acquisitions workflows that put order processing notes in the 300/500 fields of the bib records.

I agree with the patch. An acq note could be only a 9xx field, not a standard bibliographic field. Bye Zeno -- Dr. Zeno Tajoli Dipartimento Gestione delle Informazioni e della Conoscenza z.tajoli@cineca.it fax +39 02 2135520 CINECA - Sede operativa di Segrate
