How does the Item Holdings Quantity report object count multipart items?
Answer
Multipart & serial items (2+ items counted. Assumes all required fields are present)
- If an LHR includes an 863-865 field that is linked to an 853-855 field (via linking number ‡8), then each linked 863-865 field is counted as an item.
- If an LHR includes an 863-865 field that is linked to an 866-868 field (via linking number in ‡8) and/or to an 876-878 field (via ‡8), then each such occurrence of 863-865 is counted as an item.
- If an LHR includes an 866-868 field with a ‡8 of zero (0) and there are no 853-855, 863-865, or 876-878 fields, then each such occurrence of 866-868 is counted as an item.
- If an LHR includes an 866-868 field with a ‡8 of zero (0) that is linked to 876-878 field (via ‡a to ‡3 respectively) but without 853-855 or 863-865 fields, then each linked 876-878 field is counted as an item.
- If an LHR includes an 866-868 field with a ‡8 of zero (0), includes one or more unlinked 876-878 fields with a value of ‡p, but does not include 853-855 or 863-865 fields, then each linked 866-868 and 876-878 field is counted as an item.
- If an LHR includes an unlinked 876-878 field with a value of ‡p, then that 876-878 field is counted as an item.
Additional information
The Branch Item Holdings by Shelving Location report and also the LHR Item Detail universe both count LHR items not just control numbers, and whether they have a barcode or not. It will scan and parse the LHR MARC for items.
In the LHR Item Detail universe, you can see the rows and how they are split to count the LHR items for a given LHR Control Number. The following are considered for determining a unique item: LHR Control Number, LHR Item Barcode, LHR Basic Unit Enumeration and Chronology, LHR Index Enumeration and Chronology, LHR Supplement Enumeration and Chronology, LHR Item Textual Holdings.
