[Evergreen-general] Overwrite "ON ORDER" call number label upon full record import

[Jennifer Pringle]

Hello Claire,

The only times I've encountered the on order call numbers being  
overwritten is when we're batch loading full MARC records with holding  
information from vendors that include a subfield with the new call  
number. (We're running 3-5-1.)

I think development would be required to do what you describe.  You'd  
need a way to tell Evergreen when it should be overwriting the call  
number label field since I'm assuming you'd only want it to overwrite  
if a particular value was in the call number label field or if the  
item was in a particular status when you opened the item editor and  
the parameters would likely vary from library to library.

Hope that helps,

Jennifer
