[Koha] Help with Serial Prediction Pattern

[Francois Charbonnier]

Hi Nicole,

Your "inner counters" look wrong.
Set "O" and it should work.

You have to set up the inner counter only when you start receiving in 
the middle of a cycle.

Here is how the inner counter works with your example :

inner counter = 0
> vol. 4, no. 1, iss. 796

inner counter = 1
> vol. 4, no. 2, iss. 797

inner counter = 2
> vol. 4, no. 3, iss. 798

inner counter = 3
> vol. 4, no. 4, iss. 799

inner counter = 4
> vol. 4, no. 5, iss. 800

inner counter = 5
> vol. 4, no. 6, iss. 801

inner counter = 0
> vol. 5, no. 1, iss. 802

inner counter = 1
> vol. 5, no. 2, iss. 803

inner counter = 2
> vol. 5, no. 3, iss. 804

inner counter = 3
> vol. 5, no. 4, iss. 805

inner counter = 4
> vol. 5, no. 5, iss. 806

inner counter = 5
> vol. 5, no. 6, iss. 807

So if, the first issue to receive is "vol. 4, no. 1, iss. 796", you 
need to set up "inner counter = 0"

But if it's "vol. 4, no. 2, iss. 797", the inner counter should be "1". 
This way koha knows where the "receiving cycle" starts. In that case, 
Koha will add "1" to the volume after 5 issues because you told Koha to 
start after 1 issue he would have received if you started at the 
beginning of the "receiving cycle".

Hope it works! ;^)
