[Koha] zebra - item-level_itypes errors

[Pedro Amorim]

Hey Tom,

This is caused by the system preference item-level-itypes being set to
"specific item".
In our case, it happened because upon importing data, this information was
set at the record level, not the item level, so we changed it back to
"record level".
AFAIK this is harmless database-wise, however, it can cause problems in
circulation when checking the type of the item being checked out or in
searching records by type.

Here are my findings while messing with ElasticSearch not a long time ago
(it's somewhat related to this):
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=18163

What I advise to do is to keep the syspref according to your data, if you
have the information at the record level, set it back.

Good luck,

Pedro Amorim
