[...] 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. [...]
I forgot to mention that each row in the the KOC file has a date, but it is the issue date, not the due-back date. When Koha imports the file, it will calculate the due-back dates using the circulation rules that you should have already defined.
