Kathy & All,
I began trying to make this work by doing a Google search for MARC
Batch Import/Export and found documentation that stated specifically
that creating copy records was not an option. It must have been old
documentation. I'll go back to the drawing board and call for help
again if I hit a brick wall
Thanks Kathy and ... looking forward to meeting some of y'all at the
upcoming conference in beautiful Kentucky.

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.

All,
I have a rather unusual situation. I want to be able to use the
Load MARC Order Record so that I can generate a copy/item record
on import, but I do NOT want to generate a PO.
Load MARC Order Record works fine as long as the "Create Purchase
Order" checkbox is checked. But it returns the error message "...
the attempt to write to the database failed." when unchecked
Is there a parameter that needs to be changed/created so that I
can load a MARC record that has the correct field (962 in our
case) to create a copy/item record but not generate a PO?
Thanks!
Don
