The user is given practically no control over how inbound records match against existing records nor how to deal with record collisions. This proposal attempts to resolve this problem by leveraging Vandelay for matching, merging, overlaying, and importing acquisitions records. Suggested work flow: 1. Any time an ACQ record should be loaded into the catalog or simply linked to an existing catalog record, the user is presented with an additional set of Vandelay upload options to control the matching and import behavior. This would include the vendor file upload UI, PO activation, and PO "Load Bibs and Items". The Vandelay options would include the full set of Match Sets, Merge Profiles, import options, etc. the user normally has. 2. Once options are selected and, when applicable, the MARC file is uploaded, the acquisitions records are added to a new type of ACQ Vandelay queue and processed like any other Vandelay records. 3. Vandelay will be taught to recognize ACQ records and update the lineitems to reflect any imported/linked catalog records. 4. Any records that fail to import will be available for manual inspection within the Vandelay interface an can be re-imported from there.
