[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Holding Subfields

[Bill Erickson]

Hi Leslie,

Purchase order IDs and lineitem IDs are included in EDI messages by
default.  That's the primary mechanism for synchronizing data between
Evergreen and the vendor.  Item (copy) IDs are not included by default, but
can be with a change to the EDI template.

What problem are you trying to solve, exactly?
