Circulation Rules: Parent and Child Item Type
Dear All, In our library we rent textbooks for a semester at 10% cost of the book. To manage this in KOHA, I created a Parent Item with around 60 child items. Each child item has a different rental charge. I have applied a lending policy on the Parent Item with the understanding that it will apply to all child items. However I am not getting the desired result. To get my desired policy, I have to apply the lending policy to each child item. I don't think this is correct behavior but I don't understand what I am doing wrong. With best regards, Naveen Ali ITM-JE (EAKL) Inst Representative for HEC Digital Library Resources.

Hi Naveen, Maybe someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but the way I understand it is that the parent circulation rules only apply to the number of checkouts allowed, not the rest of the rules. You do need to have a rule for each of your item types, or an 'All' rule. Regards, Caroline On 2022-08-15 06:55, Ms. Naveen Ali wrote:
