[Koha] Import holdings as a separate file to MARC bib. records

[Iming Chan]

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?
