I need to know where can we enter the the following details in Koha Cataloguing along with the MARC Tags

1. Department (In a college there will be several departments, library has to get books to each and every department - where can we enter that details)

2. Location - In a college there will be several department libraries also, books will be processed in central library and sent to department libraries, where can we enter that)

3. Bill No. (In add items, bill date is available, where as bill no. is not found)

4. Currency

5. Gross Amount (Net amount is available, where as gross amount is not available)

6. Discount

Could any Koha experts help me to solve this issue?

Hi Ambika madam

Greetings!

please follow the blog http://kohageek.blogspot.in/ which is created by Mr.Vimal Kumar, KOHA expert. there you can get the answers for each and every question about KOHA. you can contact him for the related questions through his blog spot.
all the best.

Hello Ambika mam,

Firstly you enter the the following details in Koha Cataloguing and Save the entry,than you go Edit.

Than Edit items, in this option you Add all items.

Yes sir this is right way

Thanks All

1. Department (In a college there will be several departments, library has to get books to each and every department - where can we enter that details) : There are two options. Either you have to create seperate library under main library or create authority files as library / department. During data entry , you can relate books to particular department. Its very simple.

2. Location - In a college there will be several department libraries also, books will be processed in central library and sent to department libraries, where can we enter that) : Same procedure as no 1. Transfer the books to departmental library and change the permanent location, holding library, shelving location in tab 10 (tag 952 item description)

3. Bill No. (In add items, bill date is available, where as bill no. is not found) : you may add them in tab 10 ((tag 952 item description)

4. Currency: This need to changed in system administration. You can make only 1 currency active

5. Gross Amount (Net amount is available, where as gross amount is not available) : Question not clear.

6. Discount: This can be added in acquisition module.

For more clarification , you may contact me at apurbajyoti@gmail.com or 09435268733.

Thanks

Hello Madam,

Thanks for your posting.

Already many answers against your question has been submitted. Perhaps, all your doubts might have been cleared. 

However, I am maintaining technical manual which you can access at www.dptripathi.in/manual

This manual covers the complete manual for Koha and other open source software too.

Just browse and see if it is useful for your purpose.

With regards,

DP Tripathi

Thank you Sir!

All these required information can be filled in item. Whenever we creat bibilio an item also is to be created. 

Thanks!
