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

Hi,
My system is now calculating overdue fines after setting the homelibrary
field but its only after checking in the overdue item that you can see the
amount of fine. On the patrons account, its only showing the user as having
overdue items but not showing what amount of fine has accrued. What can I
do for the amount accrued to be shown even while the item is still checked
out?
Someone please help
Thank you
Best Regards

Hi Muirunyeri
You can access mysql and run a command like:
UPDATE `items` SET `homebranch` = `YourHomeBranchID' [WHERE homebranch is NULL];
As you will be editing your database directly, you should backup your
system before.

Alvaro

Hi Carlos,
I ran the report which returns a single column with item numbers. It
indeed confirms all items are without home branch. However, no batch
editing option.
Any assistance to solve this is highly appreciated.
Thanks

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.

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

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
