I am sending to both lists in case this needs to be addressed with a program update.
Every time I update our barcodes in Koha (T0012345 to T 12345) it no longer recognizes the barcodes when trying to check out. I have tried each of the prefix options and we even added a blank option but that still isn't working, I
export the itemnumber and barcode, update the barcode and reimport to the DB to a temp table then update the items table with sql expression. The records are updated and then I run the following script:
perl /usr/share/koha/bin/maintenance/sync_items_in_marc_bib.pl --run-update
It runs for like 6 hours (almost 16k records) it gives following results:
Embedded item synchronization report
------------------------------------
Number of bibs checked: 13214
Number of bibs modified: 13167
Number of item fields removed from bibs: 15698
Number of item fields added to bibs: 15698
Number of bibs with errors: 0
I go back into Koha and try to checkout and I get a yellowish box that say barcodes not found. I need to get this
to work because rebarcoding is out of the question with the number of items we have in our library.
Thanks in advance!
