Why isn't the new shelving location I created showing up?

Up to Table of Contents

This FAQ applies to: 3.0, 3.1

When editing an item, the new shelving location I created is not showing up by default in the items where I assigned it to.

This is because you created the new shelving location with a code value of 0 (zero)

Just FYI the system interprets authorized values of 0 as equaling a null so when you edit a record in cataloging where the authorized value in a field was assigned  where the code was 0, the value displays as null in the item editor (or MARC editor) instead of the value the library  meant it to be.

Authorized Values
Koha allows you to restrict the values that catalogers can place in some MARC subfields, allowing only certain pre-defined "authorized" values. These authorized values are defined here.
