Secondary item numbers
Under some special circumstances, multiple item numbers may be imported to Quria during migration. All item numbers can be searched for in the circulation windows and when using self-service. The secondary item numbers can be displayed by clicking Secondary numbers in the item details, and can be deleted from there. It is not possible to add new item secondary item numbers.

Depending on the data quality in the migrated data, duplicates might exist in the item numbers. If duplicates are noted, e.g. the wrong item shows up when scanned, it is recommended to sort out the duplicates to avoid issues when checking out items. This can be done in Collections/Items by scanning the troublesome item number. You will then get all items connected to that item number. |
