[Koha-devel] 942 versus 952

[Francois Charbonnier]

Even if the 942 field is not mandatory, I think it's still a good 
practice to use it. The 942's itemtype allows you, when filtering by 
itemtype, to retrieve records that don't have items attached to it. 
Electronic resources for example.

Also, if you don't use the 942 field, be sure to set up the 
"item-level_itypes" system preference properly. In this case : 
item-level_itypes = specific item.

Hope it helps.
