It would be fantastic to add the ERM module to Library Groups to allow a way to separate and identify between libraries. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

[Bug 31092] New: Upon importing batch records, if a full MARC record is found, only append the items; do not overlay a full MARC record

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=31092 Bug ID: 31092 Summary: Upon importing batch records, if a full MARC record is found, only append the items; do not overlay a full MARC record Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: 21.05 Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Acquisitions Assignee: koha-bugs(a)lists.koha-community.org Reporter: balestrieri(a)monterey.org QA Contact: testopia(a)bugs.koha-community.org When receiving items from our vendors, the full MARC records are sent in batches for import. We would like the ability to have koha only overlay our brief "on order" records that already exist in the system, not our full records already in our system. Currently, the only choice is to overlay ALL or NO records (choices are "Replace, Add, or Ignore") and to append the items, depending on the matching rule used (most users currently match on ISBN when importing books, audiobooks). Apparently, other ils systems have the ability to determine which existing records are brief and which existing records are full, and you can choose to only overlay the brief MARC records, leaving the full MARC records in tact, appending only the items. I understand the definitive markers are in the leader of the marc record. The leader will show the level of marc record it is. Most loaders will have a function to put this as one of the criteria. An example of an incoming Leader: =LDR 01429pam a2200385 i 4500 Position 17 is the encoding level. The above encoding level is blank, so it is a full level record. Encoding levels: Blank - full level record 1 - full level record 2 – less-than-full level record 3 – less than full level record 4 - less than full level record 5 – less than full level record 6 - less than full level record 7 – less than full level record 8 – less than full level (this is a prepublication record) It would be most convenient if koha would have an internal matching rule that allows for the user to overlay only existing records where levels 2-8 are in position 17 on the MARCs, ignoring any records with a "blank" or "1" in position 17 on existing MARCS, with the ability to still append all items. Right now, many of us in aquisitions need to create separate vendor accounts to order "added/existing" items only to avoid the constant overlaying of full MARC records in koha. We know any items arriving from these accounts already have full records in our system, so the vendor does not send full MARCs for any items ordered from these accounts. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
