[Koha] Koha sets due date to current date when checking out

[Katrin Fischer]

Hi Michael,

there are some mechanisms in Koha that can lead to a shortened due date
- maybe they could be a starting point for your investigation?

* The patron is about to expire (system preference ReturnBeforeExpiry)
* When there are holds on the item, the due date can be shortened
(system preference decreaseLoanHighHolds* and 'Decreased loan period for
high holds (day)' in circulation rules)
* Double/triple check the circulation rules. Was a hard due date set? Is
there any other rule with "0" that could be applied instead?

Hope this helps

Katrin
