[Koha] Items migration along with records

[Koustubha Kale]

Hi Nitesh,
A better way would be to import the Item data along  with biblio
information. You can use 952 tags for item information and convert the
complete data to MARC using something like MarcEdit. Them import it using
Koha's bulk import or the web ui.

> Hello all.

> I am using KOHA since more than a year now. Whenever we have a client who

> and not Items. This is one of the thing that we are not able to implement
> KOHA in such a large scale.

> Last month, we went to Bangladesh at East West University, to implement
> KOHA there. The records were migrated very easily as usual, but the problem
> was with items.
> They had a lot of items with all barcodes already set. They wanted all the
> items imported in KOHA with the same barcode.
>
> With the IT persons there, we made an excel sheet with the items and
> barcodes and inserted them in the "items" table. The process was successful
> and then all the records had items shown while browsing them.
>
> Now we have a problem. When we find a record by biblionumber, it shows the
> items and their barcodes, but when we find the same record in the search
> result it only shows 1 item. Also, while scanning the barcode, it says no
> items found.

> I have already rebuild zebra many times. What may be the solution for

> Please Help.
