Arshad,

You could prepare an offline circulation file (.koc file) and import from
that.

The file format is described at
https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_offline_circulation_file_format

Hope this helps,

Chris Brown

Arshad,

Well, I guess it depends what you're starting from. For example if you have
a file containing a list of the barcodes of the books you want to check in
it would be easy to write a little script (awk / python / bash -- whatever
you're comfortable with) to produce a .koc file with a list of "return"
actions in it then upload that into Koha. No plugins required.

Best Regards,

Chris Brown

Koha has no built-in tool for batch checkins like there is for batch checkouts.

There is an open bug report for this feature, but as far as I know no
one is working on it:

This feature can be added in koha coming version..

If you're feeling adventurous, you might try doing this from the command line
using a simple script; something like this (totally untested!):

# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

use C4::Context;
use C4::Circulation;

while (<STDIN>) {
chomp;
s/\r$//;
my $result = ProcessOfflineReturn({ 'barcode' => $_ });
if ($result =~ /success/i) {
print STDERR "OK $_\n";
}
else {
print STDERR "ERR $_ $result\n";
}
}
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------

Save it as /foo/bar/checkin.pl (just for the sake of example), make it
executable (chmod a+x /foo/bar/checkin.pl) and invoke it like this:

koha-shell -c /foo/bar/checkin.pl < /foo/my/file.txt

Where /foo/my/file.txt is just a bunch of item barcodes, one per line.

The ProcessOfflineReturn() function takes care of everything for you -- look up
the item given its barcode, find the patron who checked it out, mark it
returned, etc. It's defined in the file /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Circulation.pm
around line 3726 if you want to see exactly what it does. (I find the Koha
source code remarkably easy to read and generally have no trouble figuring out
how to use it from a Perl script, though it helps that I've been programming in
Perl for a long, long time.)

Koha has no built-in tool for batch checkins like there is for batch
checkouts. If you want a batch checkin feature you have to build it
yourself or pay someone else to build it for you:

There is a bug in Bugzilla for this, if you would like to contribute/add your voice.
