[Koha] Migration from Follett to Koha 3

[Wagner, Jane]

Another thing to check – I’ve found that the codes can be case sensitive.  Collection code for instance – I had a code in lower case in the item import, and it didn’t work until I made it upper case to match how it was defined on the server.  I haven’t done extensive testing yet on the other fields, but it’s worth investigating.

Did you define the branch with a branchcode that matches the itemdata?  If not the result is predictable, since the foreign key relationship on branchcode would be violated.

Good Morning All

 

Has anyone come across an issue when you import your Follett catalog export in Koha 3 a large number of your holdings info doesn’t get imported? I double checked Follett and the info is there and there is a bibliography record in Koha just no entry in the items table.

 

Any ideas?

 

Here is a sample of a record that is having this issue:
