Hi,
I thank you Katrin for your advise on my problem.
Koha was installed online following the installation procedure availed in kohageek blog.
How or where do I set the holdingbranch?
Kindly give me more guidance on this please.
Thanks for your forbearance.
Regards.

Hi,
just in case: you should also set the holdingbranch of your items.
if the fine is calculated on return, but not appearing overnight on the
patron account, the next thing you need to check is that the fines.pl
cronjob is scheduled and running.
How to do that depends a bit on how you installed Koha.
Hope this helps,
Katrin
