A story was created to address the previous comment https://folio-org.atlassian.net/browse/MODORDERS-970. This is not assigned to this feature as it does not define updating piece information from item. Rather it is being treated as an enhancement to how Piece edits update item records.

Hello, we had a Slack conversation about this in September/October 2023: we load records and orders and some vendors provide copy number with the full cataloging which we load into the item record. However, when we receive something, that removes the information in the item record, because the copy number field is blank in the piece record to be received. This behavior is expected but undesirable for us since we end up erasing desired data and having to redo the work. The reason this works this way is that the Piece<>Item interaction has been completed, but the Item<>Piece interaction has not. suggested, "We may be able to address this with a smaller change. Eg. if the copy number field is null in the piece, do not update that field in the item." We would like to see that change if this larger functionality will not be implemented for some time. Is there a Jira for that?

This was split from to separate the synchronization of updates flowing from receiving to inventory and the updates flowing from inventory to receiving. This will represent updates flowing from inventory to receiving.
