[Koha] Problem circulation records

[Nora Blake]

Hi Betsy,

We've found out (the hard way) that if you reverse an imported batch of
records using the batch import tool and some of those items are checked out,
Koha will delete the item records anyway leaving you with blank check out
information as you have described in your message.

So don't reverse an imported batch of records using the batch import tool if
there's any chance some of the items from that imported file could be
checked out.

Take care,

Nora

Why does Koha allow one to delete an item record that is in use!? It should
be simple enough to check it's status before permitting the record to be
deleted. It does that with patron records, why not item records?

Hi Sharon

I have seen this happen before when an item has been deleted, while it
was still on issue.
I don't know of a way in Koha to get these off the record. The easiest
way is to do it in the database.
