Just to be clear, are you just missing the barcode part of the item record, or the entire item record?
For what it's worth, the MARC file looks fine, it has barcodes in 952p as it should. So just need to clear up, did you mean items showing without barcodes, or just no items at all? Chris
Hi, Your MARC file has the barcode field as Chris said, see: https://www.dropbox.com/s/17hfzvv5obvjmvl/test.mrk?dl=0 I was able to import the above record in my Koha, see this: *https://www.dropbox.com/s/t76q81nt4ct555p/black_beauty.png?dl=0 <https://www.dropbox.com/s/t76q81nt4ct555p/black_beauty.png?dl=0>* I just changed the barcode (to make it unique for my installation), permanent location, current location and koha item type to my intallation's requirements and it works. That means that perhaps you need to double check your 952a, 952b, 952y match with what you have set in your "Basic Parameters" settings of your installation.

Chris, I am able it import the MARC data. One key item that it missing for each book, etc. is the barcode information. I am not sure how to map in Koha so that the import process sends the data to the correct place.
