The accession number is mapped to 001 - from the Koha 3.20 manual -
http://manual.koha-community.org/3.20/en/catguides.html see the entry
next to 001. 952$p is just the barcode (see
http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Holdings_data_fields_%289xx%29)

Yes, people do use 952$p to store accn no., but then end-users store a
lot of things into Koha, which does not always match up to MARC21
standards or Koha's own documentation.

For instance, if you are FRBRizing, then you may most definitely want
001 to be your accession number.

The mailing list scrubs off all attachments. You need to put them up
somewhere online and point to the link in your email.
