           Summary: Need to use invoice number as matchpoint when loading
                    MARC file
 Change sponsored?: ---
           Product: Koha
           Version: unspecified

Our print book suppliers provide shelf ready books.
When the items are shipped we receive an email containing the MARC records.
These files relate to all of the copies shipped on a specific invoice.

The order was done via EDI and the invoice would already be imported via EDI
into Koha before we receive this Marc file.
The records autocreated in Koha via EDI when the order was placed would not
contain the copy barcode as the supplier will place this in the book during
servicing before shipping the item.
By default the MARC load is expecting the item barcode to be already in Koha to
use as a match to update the copy record. This isn't the case for our shelf
ready books.  If we use the ISBN match to load the MARC file, we often find
that a duplicate copy is created during the load. In some cases there are other
existing copies held in our stock which should not be updated.

What we need is an option to Select the invoice number (& possibly the supplier
first), and load the MARC file. it should then update only the copies that are
linked to that invoice so the item barcode and call number for those copies can
be updated during the load.
