[Evergreen-acq] On order holds -- holds on Acq records

Hi all,

We do things a little differently. Instead of moving from a vendor record
and moving holds to a new record, we overlay the vendor record with a
fuller record from OCLC. We have one library that gets vendor cataloging
from a couple of vendors. One uses Z39.50 to view the on-order item and get
its copy ID, which is included in the cataloged item tag in the MARC file
they send to be loaded.Their cataloged item matches on the copy ID and
replaces the on-order barcode, as well as the call number copy location,
and circ mod.

Other vendors use the lineitem detail ID from the purchase order which was
sent in the EDI file. We use a different loader type so that the cataloged
item in their MARC file match that ID and overlays the barcode, etc.

Because we've already overlaid the acq MARC record with an OCLC record,
when we get the vendor's cataloging MARC file, we use "Match only merge" as
our merge profile so the vendor's record won't replace the OCLC record.
Holds don't have to be moved around because all the work is done with the
original record.
