[Koha] Question about inventory

[Katrin Fischer]

Hi Ramona,

I am no expert of LOC classification, but maybe something you could check:

  * Have you set the classification source in your items? (952$2)
  * When you run a report on your items, are itemcallnumber, cn_source
    and cn_sort all set?

An example SQL report would be:

SELECT itemcallnumber, cn_source and cn_sort FROM items WHERE
itemcallnumber LIKE "JUVE D%";

That would tell you if Koha has been configured correctly to create the
right sortable form of your LOC callnumbers.

Hope that helps,

Katrin
