Hi, As in, your very first borrower was "1" and the next was "2", and so on? It's impressive you were able to keep those consistent for any amount of time. They do not need to be the same and it won't affect your system at all. The "borrower number" is an internal database ID and not really necessary to know or use for operation of the ILS, as one can uniquely identify patrons other ways (by card number, by username). It's really more of a behind-the-scenes piece of information that Koha could just as well not display on the patron information screen.

In our system, we assign the card number. In the beginning, the card number and borrower number was the same. Not sure when it happened, but now they are different.
Should this be and will it affect the system in any way?
