[Koha] Inventory changed?

[Katrin Fischer]

Hi Beda,

if you are using 18.11, this might have caused the change:

*Bug 19915*
<https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=19915> -
Inventory tool doesn't use cn_sort for callnumber ranges

First thing I would check is if it works better with another 'callnumber
classificaton scheme' selected on the search form.

If that doesn't help, you should check your data. Depending on how you
created your items, cn_sort and cn_source might not have been set
correctly. If you use cn_source 'z' (generic), cn_sort will match
cn_source and should probably work as before.

Koha doesn't work really well with items without itemtypes, it will
cause issues in other places too. If you can, I'd recommend fixing the
items without itemtype using the batch tools or SQL. It might still be
worth reporting a bug too.

Hope this helps,

Katrin
