Hi Katrin, Thank you for your help. Now my next question is: Each holding (item) record from our old system has a unique number that links to the bibliographic record. I am just unsure which MARC tag in Koha that is ideal to store such number that I hope can be used for matching purpose? Iming Fischer, Katrin wrote
Hi Iming,
the matching process uses Zebra to find the right match. 997$c has to be indexed for this to work and the index name needs to be added to your matching rule configuration.
Also I think you need to have all subfields for an item in one single 952 field in order for the items to be imported correctly.
Hope this helps,
Katrin

Subject: [Koha] Import holdings as a separate file to MARC bib. records
Dear all,
I have successfully migrated MARC bib. records from our old system to Koha 3.12. The old system can only export holdings (items) in csv format, which I have successfully converted to MARC with Koha 952 tags (using MarcEdit). A few examples below:
=LDR 00292nam a2200145Ia 45e0 =008 130605s9999\\\\xx\\\\\\\\\\\\000\0\und\d =952 \\$2ddc =952 \\$aCPL =952 \\$bCPL =952 \\$g7.95 =952 \\$o423.1 MACQ =952 \\$p30094000001781 =952 \\$tIn Manager's Office =952 \\$yBK =997 \\$c26
=LDR 00278nam a2200145Ia 45e0 =008 130605s9999\\\\xx\\\\\\\\\\\\000\0\und\d =952 \\$2ddc =952 \\$71 =952 \\$aMPL =952 \\$bMPL =952 \\$g72.50 =952 \\$oLS 025.32 ANG =952 \\$p30094000002920 =952 \\$yBK =997 \\$c51
=LDR 00278nam a2200145Ia 45e0 =008 130605s9999\\\\xx\\\\\\\\\\\\000\0\und\d =952 \\$2ddc =952 \\$aMPL =952 \\$bMPL =952 \\$g0.00 =952 \\$oPER 051 REA =952 \\$p10000032 =952 \\$t1999 Sept. =952 \\$yBK =997 \\$c78
=LDR 00277nam a2200145Ia 45e0 =008 130605s9999\\\\xx\\\\\\\\\\\\000\0\und\d =952 \\$2ddc =952 \\$aMPL =952 \\$bMPL =952 \\$g0.00 =952 \\$oPER 051 REA =952 \\$p10000033 =952 \\$t1999 Oct. =952 \\$yBK =997 \\$c78
Our old system Control Number is stored on 997$c tag and this number is also found in each of our holdings record. So it is logical to match holdings to bibliographic records using 997$c tag (instead of the ISBN 020$a or ISSN 022$a). So I have setup a new matching rule using 997$c in our Koha system. However, after I imported the holdings MARC file to the reservoir using the Staged MARC Import function, it informed me that no matches were found (when I have selected 997$c as the match point)!
Have I missed something? Your assistance will be greatly appreciated.
