The beginning of many’s journeys to the Koha often start either attending workshops or watching youtube videos.

Issues here don’t mean errors.
Let us see, few of those issues
- Fines do not calculate/disappears ( even after properly setting up circulation rules and fines)
- The renewal period starts after the overdue date, not from the date on which the book was renewed
- Can not check-out/issue books to patrons, if they have more than 5 rupee fine.
- Doesn’t auto-generate call numbers in item part even after providing class number and item number in the biblio/record
