Koha lost and replaced by another item
Good day koha users & developers! How do you deal with lost items by a patron but replaced by another item with a different title? I read up the manual, lost status is in 952$1 MARC tag and I have long overdue (lost), lost, lost and paid for, missing, replaced and withdrawn. What I did is set status for the item as replaced but to show that the item was replaced by another item is what I'm lost at. Is there a way to do this? This will show in the intranet, not the OPAC. How this is done in other Koha libraries? thanks & cheers! -- View this message in context: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Koha-lost-and-replaced-by-another-item-tp5...

Perhaps you could consider a swapped or exchanged status?It doesn't properly fit any of your existing categories. Personally, I would probably remove the old record from the catalogue, unless there were duplicate copies, since you don't have athe same item any more. Then I would update the fines on the Patron's record to reflect that they aren't delinquent any more. I definitely see your point. There were certainly times where I very gratefully accepted a new copy of a popular book in lieu of our old mouldy copy of summat no one actually wanted to read anymore. Cheers, Brooke
Thanks! So, it's a feature not yet available with Koha? It's something transactional that you would want it reflected in the admin/intranet, and not available in the OPAC.
