Subject: AW: [Koha] Setting up autorenewals for a borrower category

Hi Carlos,

for autorenewals you need to set up a cron job:
misc/cronjobs/automatic_renewals.pl

This cronjob will try to renew every time it runs, unless you specify 'no 
renewal before' or 'no automatic renewal after'. Both use either hours or days, 
depending on the unit you choose for your loan period.

No renewal before works like this: Don't renew if due date - X > now.
No automatic renewal after works like this: Don't renew if now >= issue date + 
X.

For 'no renewal before' there is also a global syspref 
NoRenewalBeforePrecision. In general you should choose date, not exact time. To 
autorenew X days before due, set 'no renewal before' to X and don't specifiy 
'no automatic renewal after'.

Any one issue can either be autorenewed or manually renewed. It's mutually 
exclusive.

The RENEWAL notice works with autorenewals, so you don't need the AUTO_RENEWALS 
notice unless you want a different text for autorenewals.

Regards,
Holger

Hi Carlos,
'No renewal before' and 'no automatic renewal after' are both measured in days. 
So those columns are in conflict.
See bug 15581
<https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=15581> for 
explanation, reading from comment #32.
I hope this helps,
Bob
