[wactclc-alma] shelf report oddity

[Babcock, George]

Hi Amy,

My guess is that the coding in the holdings record might be different than the others...do some have  call numbers constructed as

852 $h 320.011 Pa165L as opposed to:
852 $h 320.011 $i Pa165c

The lack of the subfield I in the holding will make the normalized call number come before those with the ones with the subfield i...and I think the shelf report is based on normalized call numbers...like I said, just a guess...

Hello all!  I don't work very directly with inventory or the shelf report function in Alma, but am trying to help figure out a mystery.  We ran the shelf report job for the Dewey range :
>From call number:           305.4021 Lo881w
To call number:                 320.011 Mo823p

When we look at the analysis after running the job, there are 27 "Missing Items but marked in place."  But the weird thing is that while some missing items are from within that range, most of the missing items would come AFTER the call number range specified.  For example:

320.011 Pa165L
320.011 Pa165t
320.011 Ra199c
320.011 Ra199j
320.011 Sp46e

Any ideas why it's marking as missing things that come after the range we specified?  We haven't gotten to those yet...

Thanks!
