autoBarcode not incrementing
Hello I am in the process of adding new books to Koha for the first time. I've added all the MARC records, and now I'm adding the items. I keep getting Error saving item: Barcode must be unique The autoBarcode is set to <branchcode>yymm0001 so I expect it to increment, but it keeps generating the same barcode number for each item. Any help please? These messages are being generated in the logs. Not sure if connected. zebraidx(2435) [warn] Index 'Record-control-number' not found in attset(s) Koha version: 3.02.07.000 OS version ('uname -a'): Linux Koha 2.6.32-5-amd64 #1 SMP Wed Jan 12 03:40:32 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux MySQL version: mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.1.49, for debian-linux-gnu (x86_64) using readline 6.1 Apache version: Server version: Apache/2.2.16 (Debian) Zebra version: Zebra 2.0.44 (C) 1994-2010 -- View this message in context: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/autoBarcode-not-incrementing-tp4381694p438...

Hi, you can ignore the error message - it's harmless. I will try to send a patch to fix it. Your problem with autoBarcode could be related to what I noted on this bug: Bug 3577 Barcode.pl does not cater variable length branch codes in hbyymmincr format http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=3577 Hope this is helpful, Katrin

Hi Thanks for the suggestion. I did have different length branch codes. Five were 4 characters and one was 3. I've deleted the 3 and replaced it with 4 characters, but I'm still getting the same problem with Error saving item: Barcode must be unique. The bug suggested 2 character branch codes would work, but I'm reluctant to change all the branch codes. Surely if the problem was different length branch codes then all being 4 characters should have fixed it. Any thoughts? Thanks. -- View this message in context: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/autoBarcode-not-incrementing-tp4381694p438... Sent from the Koha - Discuss mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
