The item homebranch is what is important. It sounds like you may have cataloged the items as the koha root user, who isn't a real user and therefore doesn't have a valid associated branch to populate into the item record. So try it as a normal user who has a valid homebranch and adequate permissions. -- Joe Atzberger LibLime - Open Source Library Solutions On Mon, Jun 15, 2009 at 10:38 AM, ed c <terrapin44@yahoo.com> wrote:

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?
