I've had the best results by changing the tag in export file to 952 (just with a sed command like this: sed 's/tag\=\"949/tag\=\"952/' original_export.xml > new_export.xml) You'll then have to go through the framework in Koha and change the subfields in the 952 tag to match your item subfields. Also, change the record.abs file in /etc/koha/zebradb/marc_defs/marc21/biblios to match your item subfields. I haven't had to mess with the unimarc record.abs file so I'm afraid I can't offer much advise there if you're using unimarc.

I have installed koha on a test server, and have played around with it a bit. I have been able to import marc records that I have exported from our Horizon system. The system can also export item information in a 949 tag. I know that I will need to set up corresponding item status, itypes, collections, etc. but once all of that is done, how do I tell koha how to translate the 949 info into item information? Is there a howto somewhere, or some documentation I can refer to?
