MARC orders data import demonstrations | Stanford University - @Linh Chang, @Kevin Kishimoto, and Nicole Yoneda Michigan State University - @Autumn Faulkner | See recording for demos. Notes: Stanford has automated imports with AirFlow. Variable data is provided in the 980 field. Orders are set to status OPEN. There is a bug for orders that are opened with no receiving note if the receiving note is mapped from the field mapping profile. (Should be fixed in Ramsons.) Pain Points: Instance HRIDs and Orders are not in the same order as in the file that came in. This can have an impact on the receiving process. Need the ability to split files by invoice number so that the records are sorted appropriately. Orders can fail in ways that create records that are not linked or records are only partially created. The logs are not always correct in reporting on what happened as a part of the import. Q: Kevin, you mentioned you guys de-dup, can you elaborate more about when that happens and what the process is like. Thanks! A: It is a quick search of the catalog right after the records have been imported. If there is a match, suppress the new one and send it back to the vendor. Michigan State University: Always creates orders as pending and there are no holdings and items created, so it is a two step process. Has profiles for each vendor and each type of order that are created. |
