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.

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?
