I've not used acquisitions in Evergreen, not even attempted to look at it.
But we use collection codes to tell our catalogers where to place something.
The code corresponds to a set if Item attributes (Shelving location,
Circulation modifier, Circulation library, etc...). If this information is
being sent to the vendor, the vendor takes the code and populates the item
field with the correct information for batch loading.

Subject: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Collection code in acquisitions
Hi all,
I'm updating some of the acquisitions documentation, and I thought it
might be useful to address a question that has been raised from time to
time. Does anyone know what purpose the collection code field serves in
acquisitions? I assume there was a specific use case in mind when it was
added.
Thanks!
Kathy
