Bug Description

The Importing materials in the staff client section of the docs - http://docs.evergreen-ils.org/2.6/_importing_materials_in_the_staff_client.html - contains the following statement:

"The MARC Batch Importer should only be used for importing copies that already have barcodes and call numbers. Use Acquisitions > Load MARC Order Records to add on-order copies that do not yet have barcodes and call numbers."

However, with the addition of Vandelay Item Imports Defaults in release 2.5, this statement is no longer correct. http://evergreen-ils.org/documentation/release/RELEASE_NOTES_2_5.html#_cataloging

It might be better to say:

"If you are importing copies that do not have barcodes or call numbers, you must enable the _Vandelay Generate Default Barcodes_ and _Vandelay Default Barcode Prefix (vandelay.item.barcode.prefix)_ settings_."

I also recommend adding it as an admonition.
