When using the GOBI API to create e-book orders, we've chosen to not match to CZ collections, and prefer to use vendor provided marc records loaded via an update inventory import profile. The GOBI API creates standalone portfolios when PO lines are created. The Update inventory import profile lacks the ability to update standalone portfolios with electronic collection information.

If the Inventory tab > electronic resource mapping > portfolio type is set to part of an electronic collection, but the inventory in Alma is standalone, the import job will update the bib record but not the portfolio and yield the error " portfolios skipped (profile not allowing)". To update the portfolios, the electronic resource mapping > portfolio type has to be "standalone". We then have to move the portfolios to their correct local electronic collections via jobs after the import job has run.

The update inventory import profile would be greatly improved if it could update/move standalone portfolios to designated electronic collections. The match point in an update inventory import profile is the PO line, and the bib record is updated when the import profile runs, it should also be able to update/assign an electronic collection to inventory.
