Re: [Koha] How to import loans data into Koha?

Excerpts from Chris Brown's message of 2017-08-15 21:06:52 +0100:

We are migrating records from a few small community libraries (currently held as a fancy spreadsheet) into Koha 17.05. I have figured out how to migrate the biblio records, items and patron data but I was wondering if there is a way to import data on current issues (loans)? All we really need to import is the item ID, the patron ID and the due-back date.

I did this by writing a script to convert the loan list generated by our our old library system (Mandarin) into a KOC file (Koha Offline Circulation File), and then importing that. The KOC file format is defined here: https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_offline_circulation_file_format
