You are absolutely right mr Delahunty,
Circulation rules needs these two parameters, item type, patron catagory.
But I was wondering if there is any way to restrict collection codes from
circulating.
Anyway, I guess I'll have to batch edit my records.
Thank you so much
Best

Hello Rupinder-
I think you will have to rethink how you identify REF items in Koha. The
Circulation fine and fee rules are defined by combinations of patron group
and item type. The ccode isn't 'consulted' by Koha when deciding how long
an item should loan (and all the other loan rules). Koha is only interested
in WHO the borrower is (the patron category) and WHAT the item is (and that
is the item type). I think you will need to set up a REF item type and use
the Koha batch item modification tool to move items with the ccode of 'ref'
to the new item type. And then you can set up all the rules. This problem
isn't uncommon, I think. Different library management systems use different
parameters to set the circulation rules. If my now fading memory serves me
right our old Voyager LMS rules were set by the combination of patron
category and Voyager 'location'. In Koha it is patron group and the item
type.

Subject: [Koha] Circulation rule for Collection.
Hi,
In our library, all the reference books are catalogued under the item type
"Books"; no additional item type is defined for reference books. However,
reference books are marked with a CCODE "Ref", So now I want to set up a
circulation rule for reference books or all items where CCODE is flagged
"ref" that they are restricted from checkout.
is there any way to do that?
Thanks in advance
Rupinder Singh
