You also have to add MARC subfield mappings in the Holding
Subfield tab on the provider page. This tells Evergreen
where the provider stores each piece of information on the
imported copies. (E.g. fund code is in the 852f). The
supported fields are:
quantity
estimated_price
owning_lib
call_number
fund_code
circ_modifier
note
copy_location
collection_code
At some point soon, the UI will limit your input to these
options so it won't be necessary to remember them.
A...I had a feeling that simply identifying the 852 field in the
provider record was just a little too easy. I'll work on this later in the
week and see how it goes.
Thanks Bill!

Hi all,
Hi Kathy,
I have been testing acquisitions in 2.0 and have had
some success in
creating purchase orders from selection lists and
activating those purchase
orders. However, I come across some trouble when I try
loading MARC order
records through the acquisitions menu.
When I load the records, I have been leaving the
activate purchase order
box unchecked. The system creates the purchase order,
and I add prices to
each lineitem in the order, but I can't get the
purchase order to the point
where it is activatable. When I created a purchase
order from a selection
list, it becomes activatable as soon as I add prices to
each of the
lineitems. The only difference I see between the two
purchase orders is that
the lineitems for the order created through a selection
list have a status
of pending-order before I activate the order. When I
create the PO through a
MARC import, the status of the lineitems is
order-pending. Other than adding
a price for each of the lineitems, is there anything
else I need to do to
the PO to be able to activate the order?
You found the problem. It's the discrepancy between
pending-order and order-pending. The next cut of 2.0
will contain a fix for this.
Also, I tried importing items at the same time that I
loaded the MARC
records. Since I was using records from an Evergreen
system, I identified
the holdings tag for the provider as the 852 field.
Although the system will
load the MARC records, it is not pulling in the
holdings information. What
else do I need to add to the provider record so that I
can import holdings?
You also have to add MARC subfield mappings in the Holding
Subfield tab on the provider page. This tells Evergreen

Thanks for testing!
