The location "DCB" is automatically created by FOLIO when the tenant is enabled for OpenRS. This location is defined at each level of the FOLIO location hierarchy: 

• DCB institution
• DCB campus
• DCB library
• DCB location

Used at the supplying library to identify the borrowing patron group. Virtual patron records are automatically generated via FOLIO DCB API in the supplying library when a request is created by OpenRS. Virtual patron groups are used in circulation rules when the item is loaned to the virtual patron. A loan to the virtual patron results from a checkout to the patron at the borrowing library.

Patron group mapping is configured in the DCB to translate patron groups from one library/agency to a different library.
