OK, we figured it out with some clues Joe provided. It turns out that the problem was that we were using the 952$b instead of the 952$a for the homebranch. Where koha shows you what field it is looking for the homebrach in can be found in: Home -> System Preferences -> Cataloguing From there, click the "Click to Edit" link that is associated with the NoZebraIndexes preference.

Thanks for the reply Joe, but I double-checked and using the kohaadmin user is not the cause of our issues. The person doing the importing doesn't even have the kohaadmin user password. When I asked her about thi, she said:

"I always have logged in [with my username] and I always choose CDC which is in the upper right.  If fact I had seen something like this answer online so I also toggled the preference under circulation called "homeorholdingbranch" from holding branch to home branch thinking that might make a difference but it did not."

Hello All,

We have managed to bulk import a number of records and have created items during the import in our new Koha 3.0.2 install. However, when we try to circulate them, we get the following error:

Koha error

The following fatal error has occurred:

No branchcode argument to new.  Should be C4::Calendar->new(branchcode => $branchcode) at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Circulation.pm line 2321

(followed by some systems info)

If we locate the bib record in "Manage Staged MARC Records" and then go and edit the item, changing nothing in the form, we do not get this error anymore. That's the good thing, the bad thing is this takes a lot of clicks and steps for each record. It looks like just the fact that we went in and saved the item, automatically populated a few fields including:

Source of classification or shelving scheme

Permanent location

Date last seen

Price effective from

The one that I'd guess is important is Permanent Location. I am not sure why this is not being set during the import. Current Location is being set during the import. Any ideas?

Edward
