[Koha] Item Type problem

[Robert McKenna]

Hi
 
We are having a problem with our item types. From what I can see the 
item types information is stored in biblioitems.itemtypes. Our items 
types are long term, short term, Reference and audio visual. These item 
types are used to define the loan characteristics. This information is 
stored in 995Z in our export from our current system (Alice/Oasis). The 
item type is linked to each individual item along with its barcode, 
location etc. We have all of our tab 10 items in 995. We cannot get Koha 
to recognise this as an item type as it is in the items table as opposed 
to the biblioitems table. It needs to be in 952b as far as we can figure 
out. If we define is as being biblioitems.itemtype then it can't be in 
tab 10 or 995. What can we do to fix it? We have set the borrowing rules 
but nothing can be lent until koha can recognise the item type!
 
Please help.
 
Many thanks
