Now your framework test warning should not appear. Actually, it is a false warning as Fridolin Somers says in http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Please-help-biblio-and-biblionumber-td5777.... However, it is a headache for someone who is not aware of it. I think we must file a bug if you confirm the correction procedure above. It worked for us (we are running Koha 16.05), I hope it works for you.

    Please ask away!     You'll want to sit down with your Librarian at this stage and see how they want stuff set up. It's much better to try it, refine it, then do it again if needs be then set stuff up only to find out that they want it totally different. VM is a nice way to go for that, since you can exploderate your less than desireable outcomes at a tiny penalty.     Reading the cataloguing bit of the manual may help, or it may induce nausea. http://translate.koha-community.org/manual/master/en/html-desktop/#catalogin...
