We are new to the Koha family. Just learning the ropes. Today we learned about "Create manual credit" when trying to "pay a partial fine". We know that this would completely confuse some of our staff, especially if it was busy at the desk. We know there is a solution in the horizon (yea!) but in the meantime, has anyone come up with creative-and-simple ways to handle this issue? Thanks in advance.

We're having trouble figuring out how to "make it do" what we are accustomed to, but I'm starting to wonder if there is no way to do that... In our current system, we allow books to check-out for 3 weeks. We "count" the days that we are closed, so an item going out on Monday the 2nd would be due on Monday the 23rd. The only time an item going out on a Monday wouldn't be due on a Monday is if the library has a holiday on that day... in which case, we would roll the due date forward to the next day that we are open. But otherwise, patrons can usually tell when their items will be due based on what day of the week they came in. Does that make sense? As far as I can tell, that system won't work in Koha. If we tell Koha that items circulate for 21 days, but that we are closed on Sundays, the computer doesn't count the Sundays... an item going out on Monday the 2nd would be due on Thursday the 26th. Is that the way it works for your library?
