Zoom chat:

From Lynne Fors to Everyone 01:05 PM
We use the 999 match

From Jennifer Eustis (she/her) to Everyone 01:10 PM
I don't think so. We do more edifact and we're starting with edifact

From Christie Thomas (she/her) to Everyone 01:15 PM
same here. not in one order, but multiples in one file.

From Jenn Colt to Everyone 01:19 PM
We always expect multi to be a pain so it's not a downgrade for us right now

From Leeda Adkins to Everyone 01:20 PM
Same here

From Christie Thomas (she/her) to Everyone 01:23 PM
we probably would not have call number and enumeration at the point of order, so we could not use that to match for an update in a later step.
Yeah, we are not batch loading any orders that are not single title / single copy right now. We are doing those manually.

From Lloyd to Everyone 01:26 PM
@christie, I see that won't work for orders.
I guess orders could get a vendor number in the holdings record and items could match on that.

From Dung-Lan Chen to Everyone 01:28 PM
We are not currently filling in "receipt due" and "expected receipt date" fields.

From Jennifer Eustis (she/her) to Everyone 01:28 PM
We don't use them at UMass

From Christie Thomas (she/her) to Everyone 01:28 PM
we do not use them.

From Lynne Fors to Everyone 01:28 PM
As far as I know, we are not

From Dung-Lan Chen to Everyone 01:33 PM
For one time orders, we default to create "instance, holdings, item" assuming most of them are brand new titles to add to collection.  For added copy or added volume, we have a separate process.

From Christie Thomas (she/her) to Everyone 01:38 PM
that would be an excellent function
that would save us so much time! thank you for bringing that up.
my mind is going crazy with the possibilities!

From Dung-Lan Chen to Everyone 01:38 PM
Sort of like de-duping check.  Our previous ILS has can de-dup ISBN duing EDI order import process.

From Jennifer Eustis (she/her) to Everyone 01:42 PM
We would map this as well
We don't use this either.

From Jenn Colt to Everyone 01:42 PM
all our e stuff is coming via gobi not marc

From Raegan Wiechert to Everyone 02:00 PM
Yes, to items!

From Lynne Fors to Everyone 02:00 PM
+1

From Dung-Lan Chen to Everyone 02:01 PM
Thank you, Ann-Marie, I have to jump off for a Ref shift.

From Christie Thomas (she/her) to Everyone 02:03 PM
For re-encumber it is checked by default. As long as that holds true for batch imports we do not need to modify this check box in the import profile.

From Taylor Smith to Everyone 02:03 PM
sounds good
