Hi!

As MARC manual say about control number
<http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd001.html> *"Field 001 may be
system generated"* we wish Koha generate this number (lastUsed++), to avoid
creating manually and periodically having to run a report to remove
duplicates (from wiki
<http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Multipart_Bibliographics> *"There is
currently no way to enforce uniqueness in the 001, or rather uniqueness in
001 + 003."*).
We have *autoMemberNum* syspref for "next available card number",
*autoBarcode* for 952$p, barcode. but nothing for 001, no
marc21_field_001.pl vuilder plugin, only bug 9921
<http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=9921> about *"Make
it possible to force 001 = biblionumber"*, but that is not exactly what we
are looking for.

Being this something basic (but asked before
<https://lists.katipo.co.nz/public/koha/2010-December/026618.html>) I
wonder If I'm getting all wrong...

Regards,
Pablo

BTW on current manual Cataloging Guides say that 001 is "accession number
<http://manual.koha-community.org/current/en/catguides.html>", which is
usually name to barcode.
