[Koha] Issuing Rules for Patron+ItemType ---- Relating to Specifying Due date on Checkout Time

[savitra sirohi]

Susan, I think by entering a due date you are effectively overiding the loan
period set in the circulation rules. Just don't enter anything due date, it
should automatically assign the correct due date. If you like you can use
system preference "specify due date" to not show the due date field.

Thanks,
