[Koha] Koha and fees

[Riley Childs]

If library hours are set using the calendar you shouldn't have any issues, we loan out some of our bibles in a similar fashion. There was some system preference I had to set...but I would need to look tomorrow.

Hi Tim,

I think the easiest way might be to specify the due date at the end of
the day to be at a specific time the next day. This way no fines would
be generated as the item won't get overdue (unless the patron is still
late).

If you can't see the option to specify the due date during checkout,
check that the system preference SpecifyDueDate is set to 'allow' in
your installation.

Hope this helps,

Katrin
