[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Load MARC Order Record

[Kathy Lussier]

HI Don,

Evergreen acquisitions really expects you to have a PO. I don't think 
there is a way to create real copies/items in acq without creating the 
PO. I haven't tested this in a while, but, my recollection is that if 
you can leave the "Create Purchase Order" checkbox unchecked if you are 
adding the imported lineitems to a Selection List. But those lineitems 
need to be added to a PO before you can create the live copies.

Is there any reason you aren't adding those records through the MARC 
Batch Import/Export interface? You should be able to configure a MARC 
import to create copies based on that 962, and there are library 
settings that allow you to autogenerate call numbers and barcodes as you 
do in the acquisitions interface.
