I think the manual should include additional information, probably in the
installation section.
It would be useful for readers to point out that cataloging framework and
indexes are based on the UNIMARC defined by IFLA and do not take into account
the modifications commonly implemented in different countries using the format
(France, Italy, Portugal...), and that adaptations may need to be made by
libraries or support companies. Unlike Marc21, there are multiple variants of
UNIMARC, and no one uses IFLA UNIMARC as is, so the default config of Koha is
not suitable out of the box. For example in France and Italy the use of field
359 is not the same. There is an even greater need for adaptation in countries
that do not use UNIMARC directly, but rather national formats based on UNIMARC
with variations (Russia, Slovenia, Korea, etc.).
