I am helping a public library switch to koha, and have a few problems that have come up while importing the old data.
First, on the "MARC Check" page, It says
item fieldsALL items fields MUST :
be mapped to the same tag, and they must all be in the 10 (items) tab
Item tagThere is more than 1 MARC tag related to items tab (10) : 852,952, This is correct, the previous ILS's MARC setup puts some item data on each tag. Is it safe to leave it like this?
No, Koha will not work until you get the MARC check to return no errors. [snip...]
Thirdly, is there any way to have koha automatically create items from a MARC import? The records import, but I have to manually create an item for each record before I can use it. This is impractical, since there are thousands of records.
I believe the best way to do this is still to use the bulkmarcimport.pl script. Stephen
