Hi, My system is now calculating overdue fines after setting the homelibrary field but its only after checking in the overdue item that you can see the amount of fine. On the patrons account, its only showing the user as having overdue items but not showing what amount of fine has accrued. What can I do for the amount accrued to be shown even while the item is still checked out? Someone please help Thank you Best Regards On Wed, 21 Aug 2019 10:59 muirunyeri <muirunyeri@gmail.com wrote:
Hi,
While Koha is now calculating fines, its only possible to see the fine after item checkin. Its only showing a user as having overdue items but no amount of fine accrued before checkin. What can be done to show on the screen the amount accrued even while the item is still checked out?

Hi Muirunyeri
You can access mysql and run a command like:
UPDATE `items` SET `homebranch` = `YourHomeBranchID' [WHERE homebranch is NULL];
As you will be editing your database directly, you should backup your system before.

Alvaro

Hi Carlos, I ran the report which returns a single column with item numbers. It indeed confirms all items are without home branch. However, no batch editing option. Any assistance to solve this is highly appreciated. Thanks

You should even get a little "Batch modify" button at the top of your results.

I have around 44,000 items that were imported from excel. The homebranch field is blank and this might be the cause if the non-calculating overdue fines. How can i edit items to fill this field (batch)? The homebranch field is not available on the items form. If its hidden, how can I unhide it?
You could also give me an SQL code if it'll get the

Hi all,
I think what Caroline described would work well for a dev (git) or
standard (tarball) installation, while things with the packages work a
little differently like Michael describes. So it might depend on your
installation type on what you should do.
For package installations the fines.pl should be scheduled by default to
run daily.
Have you checked everything else that might prevent fines from calculating?
- finesmode systempreference?
- Holidays in the calendar?
- Circulation rules correct? For example sometimes it's easy to miss
that rules for 'all libraries' might have been overwritten by branch
specific ones.
Hope this helps,
Katrin
