Hi Peter, this is currently not possible. You can give a total per patron category/itemtype combination and a total per account. This development might help in the future: *Bug 21946* <https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=21946> - Group circulation by item type Katrin On 29.04.19 08:24, Peter Lau wrote:
Dear Chris,
I’m afraid that it doesn’t help as we only want students to be allowed to borrow a total of 6 types of Type A and/or Type B with the possibilities:

Max. Type A

Peter,
If you look below the table of circulation rules you'll see a rule-set called "Default checkout, hold policy by patron category" where can specify the maximum number of loans that a patron of a given category can make, regardless of the item type. Does that help?

Hi Peter
If you look at the top of the Circulation and Fine Rules page there is a rule priority order listed:
""" The rules are applied from most specific to less specific, using the first found in this order:
same library, same user category, same item type same library, same user category, all item types same library, all user categories, same item type same library, all user categories, all item types default (all libraries), same user category, same item type default (all libraries), same user category, all item types default (all libraries), all user categories, same item type default (all libraries), all user categories, all item types """ So if you wanted to restrict loans for a particular user category to 6 (regardless of item type) this should be possible (just set item type to "All" for that rule). Just make sure you don't have any rules higher up that might lead the system to ignore this.

I wonder if the following can be set up so that:
*Category of Borrowers*
*Loan Quota*
*Book*
*AV*
Students
6 items
Loan Period
# of renewal
Loan Period
# of renewal
14 days
2 times
7 days
2 times
So that a student can only borrow up to 6 items like 6 Books, or 6 AV, or 3 Books & 3 AV BUT NOT 6 Books & 6 AV Items.
Thanks & regards,
