What version of Koha are you using? This sounds like a bug that was fixed in Koha 3.2. Thanks Nicole C. Engard Documentation Manager 2011/1/3 Peel Lisa <lisa.peel@ritz.edu>:
Hello
And a belated Happy New Year !
I have a very small problem but one which I cannot find an easy resolution for. I set up most of our serials at the end of last year –several of my serials should now roll over into the next year or volume number (for example, vol 194, no 1 or 2011/1). However, though they are rolling back to number 1 they are not rolling forward by 1 as far as the volume number and/or year is concerned.
One example is the pattern for a serial using the year/number pattern
Everything looks fine on the predication pattern - when I go into the advanced pattern for X (volume or year) the pattern is:
Add 1
Once every 12
When more than 9999999
Inner counter 2
Set back to 0
Last value 2010
Should the fact that the first issues checked in was actually 2010/10 have an impact? I am wondering if the ‘once every’ does not mean issue number (Y) but the actual number of issues which have to be checked in. If this is the case, would I then have to edit the pattern again as I would have to set it to 2 to get it to roll over to 2011, and then change it back to 12 so it would not go to 2012 in March!
Golly, I hope this makes some sense to someone! Any help would be really appreciated!
Regards
Lisa
