[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Acquisitions - order record question

[Kathy Lussier]

Hi Leslie,

We haven't come across this problem because we don't use the 020 or 022 
for our estimated price information. Instead, when we configure our 
provider record in Evergreen, we set a holdings tag (we typically use 
962 here) and then identify one of the subfields to be used for the 
estimated_price. The docs in the "Preparing for order record loading" 
section of http://docs.evergreen-ils.org/2.8/_ordering.html identify the 
different bits of data that can be used in the subfield for the holdings 
tag.

We then need to share this information with the vendor so that they 
include in the holdings information in the correct tag and subfields. 
Many vendors allow you to configure this information yourself through 
their web sites.

I haven't heard of any problems with subfield c of the 020 or 022, but 
our libraries may just not have that subfield included in their records 
since the information is contained elsewhere.

I hope this helps!
Kathy
