Hi,

Koha (3.16) has been installed from packages method  on ubuntu 12.4 LTS.

Now I am trying to batch import of patron with the help of CSV template
given in Koha. I just did copy and paste 1 patron related information to
CSV for testing.
I do not have any borrowernumber information.
That's OK.  Koha will assign the borrowernumber.
  For me only, card number is
primarily required.All other mandatory fields, such as Branch Code and
Category Code has been cross verified and inserted in to CSV.
After upload, finally thrown with following errors.


    - Line 2 Critical field "surname" missing (borrowernumber: UNDEF;
    surname: UNDEF).

    - Line 2 Critical field "branchcode" missing (borrowernumber: UNDEF;
    surname: UNDEF).

Is all the fields in CSV file are mandatory?
No. You seem to have identified the ones that are. However, you must follow the Notes on the Import Patrons page exactly. Exactly! I prefer to use the 'starter csv file' offered on that page.

or partially I can fill
whatever is mandated. What is the reason for getting above said error ?
I believe, this is repetitive question but, I did not get solution from
other answers in forum or video tutorials. Therefore posted a fresh
question. Please advice to proceed further for batch import of patrons.
Did you use MS Excel to prepare you spreadsheet? If so, try again using LibreOffice.

I hope this helps.
