<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>We are new to
the Koha family. Just learning the ropes. Today we learned <BR>about "Create
manual credit" when trying to "pay a partial fine". We know <BR>that this would
completely confuse some of our staff, especially if it was <BR>busy at the
desk.<BR>We know there is a solution in the horizon (yea!) but in the meantime,
has <BR>anyone come up with creative-and-simple ways to handle this
issue?<BR><BR>Thanks in advance.<BR><BR>Sally Bannen<BR>Adult

dates KOHA</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>We are
setting up our calendar and circulation parameters. We're having <BR>trouble
figuring out how to "make it do" what we are accustomed to, but I'm
<BR>starting to wonder if there is no way to do that...<BR><BR>In our current
system, we allow books to check-out for 3 weeks. We "count" <BR>the days that
we are closed, so an item going out on Monday the 2nd would be <BR>due on
Monday the 23rd.</FONT></FONT></DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT
face="Times New Roman" size=3>
<DIV><BR>The only time an item going out on a Monday wouldn't be due on a
Monday is <BR>if the library has a holiday on that day... in which case, we
would roll the <BR>due date forward to the next day that we are open.<BR>But
otherwise, patrons can usually tell when their items will be due based <BR>on
what day of the week they came in. Does that make sense?<BR><BR>As far as I
can tell, that system won't work in Koha. If we tell Koha that <BR>items
circulate for 21 days, but that we are closed on Sundays, the computer
<BR>doesn't count the Sundays... an item going out on Monday the 2nd would be
<BR>due on Thursday the 26th. Is that the way it works for your
library?<BR><BR>Thanks,<BR>Sally </DIV>
