hi Folks thanks for the feedback. down the track i can see the potential for the tool to be enhanced with add/mod/saving item-batches to run status-updates on, or uploading a text-file of barcodes, or selecting items using various fields and min/max ranges etc... but yes, at the moment ill keep the 1st draft nice and simple, and focus on it accepting scanned barcodes from Circ (like the branchtransfer.pl tool) _______________________________________________ Koha-devel mailing list Koha-devel@lists.koha.org http://lists.koha.org/mailman/listinfo/koha-devel
