Input dataMARC
Job purposeThis job can be used to create new instances with a holdings and item record, where there is no pre-existing instance record.
Considerations for using this profileThis job profile used MARC mappings for holdings and item attributes, but specifies fallback accepted values for required fields, like holdings permanent location, material type, and loan type. Status is hardcoded and items will be created in an "In process" state. This job profile should not be used to update existing records, only to create completely new instances, with a linked holdings and item.
