[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Vandelay Import and On Order records

[Mary Llewellyn]

Hi Michael,

We don't create the on-order items during a load in this way, so I'm not
sure how helpful I can be. But one question occurs to me: is there anything
in the MARC record you are loading that indicates how many copies were
ordered? I know when manually working with a selection list or PO, the
defaults we set don't kick in until a lineitem copy is established.

I hope you hear from others with good advice.

Mary
