Description Sara Brown 2023-04-05 18:28:08 UTC
If a library imports a file with items whose barcodes are duplicates of barcodes that already exist in the system (on different bibs/items - this is *not* for overlay/matching), the file will show as Imported but the items will not actually import, but there is no indication of that in 'Staged MARC record management'. The only way a library can know is to individually view each bib to see that the items did not come in. It would be helpful if there were an error message or note of some sort during the 'Staged' phase in 'Staged MARC record management' to indicate that items won't actually import, or at the 'Imported' phase to show that they didn't.

Thanks Sara ... we experienced this issue and while the duplication of the barcodes was a vendor issue, there was no indication from Koha that there was an issue with the overlay. I would have hoped that the system would have complained about the file not being correct, or errors prevented this from being imported correctly.

Thank you!

+1 for accurate reporting of errors and complications!
