Hi Elaine,

I haven't heard of this particular problem happening here. However, I'm also 
not sure how often we have a situation where a library would be uploading 
the order record more than once, which might explain why I haven't heard of 
it occurring.

As far as where to start looking, for the barcodes and call numbers you only 
see in holdings maintenance, has anyone done a query against the 
acq.lineitem_detail table to see if they exist there? Or perhaps looking at 
the import queues would shed some light on the matter.

Also, I just wanted to note that I wouldn't expect any copies that were 
uploaded to a selection list, but then never moved to the PO, to create a 
live copy in the database that would be available through Holdings 
Maintenance. Not unless the user had selected the option to "load items for 
imported" records on the upload screen. I usually recommend that people 
leave that option deelected since the copies are automatically loaded when 
the PO is activated.

We have a library that has uploaded the same order records from the vendor 
multiple times (4), created from one successful upload a selection list 
which was converted to a purchase order and then sent out as an EDI purchase 
order. After receiving and invoicing the items (all sounds good so far) 
discovers in the cataloging workflow that there are multiple copies, for 
each time copies were created (4) and all copies were assigned temporary 
barcodes and call numbers, as was set up for the system to do, (still sounds 
good) BUT (here's where the shoe drops) for half of the copies appearing on 
the holdings maintenance screen with barcodes and call numbers, the ACQ 
assigned barcodes and call numbers do not appear ANYWHERE in Acquisitions on 
any line item record.  Since this is a bit confusing screen shots are 
included, hope they come through.



Has anyone every seen this behavior with assigning temp barcodes and /or 
call numbers? or have any inkling where we can start looking?



Line Items, expanded - look at the last 2 line item records --











Here's the corresponding holdings maintenance screen --







Any help, hints or clues would be greatly appreciated.
