[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Price for Pre-Cats

[Scott Thomas]

Hi Lise,
   How is the template applied? When we do pre-cats, the form asks for very basic information including the Circ Modifier. Do you apply the template using Edit Item Attributes after the pre-cat is created?


Thank you,
Scott

Even pre-cats can have an Item Attributes Template applied to them.  For ILLs, we use a template that includes a price of $50.00 to ensure that patrons are prevented from using services anywhere in the consortium until the overdue ILL is returned.  Hope that helps.

Thanks,
Lise

Hi Scott,
You can set a default price for all items that do not have one by entering the value in the "Default Item Price" Library Setting, but it is currently not possible to set this by circulation modifier.

This may work for you, though, if all your cataloged items do have a value in the price field.
Hope this helps,
Michele

Hi,
   For ILLs, we do not catalog them beforehand. Instead, the person at the circulation desk receives the Pre-Catalog prompt when they scan in a barcode that does not exist in the system and then they fill out the Pre-Catalog Fields. It is important, for these items, to populate the Price field in the item record with a default of $25.00 because this is what triggers a submission to our debt collection agency. Is there a way to have the Price field in the item record populate with a default value? I was hoping EG would allow us  to associate a default price with a Circ Modifier, but I could not find this. Am I missing something?

Thank you,
Scott
