Hi Muirunyeri
If the homebranch field is empty, you could run a report from this query:
SELECT itemnumber
FROM items
WHERE homebranch is NULL
You should even get a little "Batch modify" button at the top of your results.
With kind regards from the Dalton McCaughey Library Team

Hi,
I have around 44,000 items that were imported from excel. The homebranch field is blank and this might be the cause if the non-calculating overdue fines. How can i edit items to fill this field (batch)? The homebranch field is not available on the items form. If its hidden, how can I unhide it?
You could also give me an SQL code if it'll get the results I need.
Warm regards.

Hi,
Thanks for assisting on my query.
I have around 44,000 items.
Kindly help me with more info on how to use the batch item
editing. I cannot see the field containing home library in the
form when using the batch item modification tool. There is
however permanent location and current location both holding the
name of my library. This two fields are however set and I need
the home library field.
If its hidden, how can I unhide it?
You could also give me the SQL code if it'll get the results
I need.
Thanks alot.

Hi,
yes, this is most likely the problem. You need to make sure
that in all your items Home library (homebranch) and current
location (holdingbranch) are set for Koha to work correctly.
Depending on the amount of items you have, there could be
different ways to fix this: batch item editing,
exporting/reimporting (matching items) or SQL. Make sure you
have not hidden those fields from the add item form or have set
proper defaults set to prevent the problem in the future.
Hope this helps,
Katrin

Hi all,
The sys prefs are all well set, the calendar and the fine
rules.
I however observed a very sinister issue which might be
causing the overdue fine not calculating. After searching for
a book, in normal view under the home library it is blank.
This is in like all the books.
Could it be the cause?
I only have one library under libraries and the fines and
circulation polices for all branches are cloned to this
library.

Hi all,
I think what Caroline described would work well for a dev (git)
or
standard (tarball) installation, while things with the packages
work a
little differently like Michael describes. So it might depend on
your
installation type on what you should do.
For package installations the fines.pl should be scheduled by
default to
run daily.
Have you checked everything else that might prevent fines from
calculating?
- finesmode systempreference?
- Holidays in the calendar?
- Circulation rules correct? For example sometimes it's easy to
miss
that rules for 'all libraries' might have been overwritten by
branch
specific ones.
Hope this helps,
Katrin
