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

[St. John, Leslie]

Thanks Kathy to you and yours for answering our question, much appreciated. 

I think there is a workflow difference. We have the 962 and subfields set and so has the vendor however we are bringing in just the order records with no holdings information attached so no 962 therefore are relying on the 020. Some of our libraries prefer to do the copy creation, etc on the Evergreen side instead of the vendor's site. However you've given me an idea for a workaround which is great and a training point too. Thanks.

P.S. In the meantime we filed a bug report https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1449724 and subsequently have a solution.

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!

We have had trouble uploading vendor order record files with "$" in the 020 |c and 022 |c. Up until this point each of our vendors has been able to accomodate our request for no $ in the upload files but now we have a vendor that "can't" accommodate our request and say that they have other Evergreen customers that have not had the problem. So I am here asking if anyone has encountered this problem and if so what was your solution? Thanks for any assistance you might provide us.
