Hi Mary,
The following answer applies to the serials "Batch Receive" interface,
and I'm pretty sure it applies to the Receive tab of the "Serials
Control View" as well, but others could confirm that if needed.
No, receiving copies of a serial does not update MFHD records, although
it does update holdings statements that are shown in the OPAC. These
are displayed next to a label of "Issues Held" when the org unit setting
"opac.fully_compressed_serial_holdings" is true at the appropriate scope.
Thanks,
Lebbeous

Hi all,
I'm going to be training a library in the use of serials next week, and I
came across something that I need more information on. When you check in an
issue and you don't create a unit for the received item, is the MFHD still
supposed to update to reflect the latest received issue? Because when I just
tried it, it didn't. We do have a newly built client that is set up to use
serials.
Thanks,
Mary
