           Summary: Acquisitions Records Go Blank
           Product: Koha
           Version: 2.2.9
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW

          Priority: P2

Our current version of Koha is v2.2.9 running on a PC server. Unfortunately we
can't upgrade because no newer version of Koha released for PC server.

For Acquisitions we have set up a generic library code called 'ACQ' and have a
generic login for anything to do with acquisitions called 'ACQ-GEN'

When items are received and we create the original holding record for the item
as requested by Koha when receiving the item, we put the acquiring library as:
ACQ

When another person logs into the system such as 'LTN-GEN' who have
cataloguing, acquisitions, circ, reporting, etc. privleges on the system, if
they go to the Acquisitions module to search for an item that was purchased
when they view the Purchase Order record it shows up completely blank. This
happens for all users including the system admin account created during
install. The location of the person logged in could be set to ACQ and the
record would still be blank. So only the user 'ACQ-GEN' can view the records
correctly. 

We decided to go with a generic location because we have 8 libraries and all
Acquisitions go through the main library. When our patrons go to the OPAC and
find a brief catalogue record and see the holding library location as ACQ they
know the item was recently acquired and still in process, and we allow them to
request the item whilst it is in this process.

Originally we did have a generic shelving location setup instead but this
confused clients. (Acquisitions dept put the receiving holding record at the
library the item is intended for). This problem still occured for every user
when we utilised this old method of the generic shelving location for each
library location in the system.

Please help.
