(Is this the right list for this? I thought it was Alma-L at first 
because of the content, but seems not... are you trying to get this item 
data properly massaged using MarcEdit, maybe?)

For what it's worth, I haven't been able to get Holdings Record Mapping 
to do anything in my testing either.

You can do it either way. If you do not use mapping (or specify a 
default), then the data in the subfield you declare for the location 
must exactly match an Alma location code. If you use mapping, then you 
can tell Alma what various data as it appears in the incoming file 
should correspond to what Alma location.

Since that checkbox was shown checked, I wondered whether maybe they did 
not then fill out anything on the Mapping tab. If Alma can't match the 
library/locations up, then holdings/items aren't created, is what I've 
found.
