This documentation should still be current:

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

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!

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

2017-01-30 Thread Kathy Lussier 

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.
