[Koha] Source of Acquisition

[Alvaro Cornejo]

Hi Charles

You might concatenate the acquisition number and the Access Db id on 952$i
with a character separator like a pipe, asterisk, semicolon, etc.  ie
2019-01325|54342.

Once you get rid of the old Access DB system you can run a query to the
Koha DB biblio table and, using the separator, remove all reference to the
old AccessDB.

Regards,

Alvaro
