[Evergreen-acq] Record Type of Acquisitions Records vs Bibliographic Records

[Mary Llewellyn]

matters for us when loading cataloged items to replace acq items. One of
our libraries' vendors sends back the lineitem detail ID number (which was
sent in an EDI order) and we used that ID to link to the item attached to
the purchase order so the incoming cataloging information will overlay the
existing item. Those loads are set as acquisitions loads.

As a contrast, another vendor does cataloging based on seeing items in our
catalog through Z39.50, and they include the copy ID in the cataloging they
send to us, and we match on that number. Those loads are set as
bibliographic record loads.

The difference allows us to use the same Holdings Import Profile. We are
matching on $n in both cases, but the different load types define the value
for $n to be the lineitem detail ID for acq loads and copy ID for
bibliographic loads.

I'm not sure any of this helps you troubleshoot your situation, but it's
the first difference that came to mind in our case.
