Dear Koha Dev [Rachel], Thank you very much your response for my queries. But, we are still facing the problems in making Koha setup up and running. We are here with giving you a snapshot of the setup of what we have and try to address our major concern. Our Concern:Koha system is not allowing us to issue a book with out entering the bar code. We are struck at the screen in the below URL [keeping at a URL, because attachments clog your mail boxes] http://www.angelfire.com/indie/vijayk/koha/circulation.html We want to know which parameter should be turned off inorder to avoid entering bar code. The system parameters in our setup are as shown in the following URL http://www.angelfire.com/indie/vijayk/koha/systempreferences.html We will be really thankful to have your inputs and any further setup we have to do. Thanks in advance, Vijay --- vijay.kankipati@tcs.com wrote: > ----- Forwarded by Vijay Kankipati/HYD/TCS on
