[Koha-devel] items table

[Tom Madron]

What is the function of the "itemnumber" field in the "items" table in 
Koha?  Where does it come from?  How is it used?

In the MARC/Koha cross reference document on http://www.koha.org/wiki 
(which I realize is woefully out of date) the "itemnumber" field references 
MARC tag 890, subfield "c", which, as far as I can tell is not used 
elsewhere in Koha.  In fact, neither MARC21 nor UNIMARC define tag 890 at 
all (see http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/ and 
http://www.ifla.org/VI/3/p1996-1/sec-uni.htm for tag definitions under 
MARC21 and UNIMARC, respectively).

I have tried to put together a cross reference spreadsheet based not only 
on the cross reference document noted above, but also by reference to 
fields defined in Koha.

Any information I can get on this or related questions will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Tom Madron
