<div dir="ltr">Leslie, I asked Blake about your question (he's not subscribed to this list) because he just did this. His response is below (I will make a caveat--the data being migrated is from a home-grown ILS of another library system in Missouri, so it's not from a commercial vendor).<div><br></div><div><div>----</div><div><span style="font-size:12.8px">Leslie,</span><br style="font-size:12.8px"><br style="font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-size:12.8px">This is good timing. I just migrated acquisitions data for a soon-to-join library. We generally discourage migration of acquisitions data because of fiscal years and reporting. Or, if we can, we time the migration between fiscal years, so that the library can start fresh acquisitions in Evergreen and leave their old ILS data intact on the old system.</span><br style="font-size:12.8px"><br style="font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-size:12.8px">In this case, we went ahead and migrated the data because they strictly used it with a single vendor. They also do not use Fund sources. The data was purely for copy creation. It turned out that we were able to create the purchase orders, lineitems, lineitem_details, and invoices from the data. Skipping the funding sources all together. This enabled us to populate the catalog with the copies created from the migrated purchase orders.</span><br style="font-size:12.8px"><br style="font-size:12.8px"><br style="font-size:12.8px"><pre class="gmail-m_4642326053038934030moz-signature" cols="72" style="white-space:pre-wrap">-Blake-
