You can "fill" the received date in the order record when the invoice is
paid by answering yes to "use today's date as received date?". That way
the RDATE is not related to actually processing and creating the item
record... does that help or just confuse...?

You are correct in your reply assumptions. This routine is used by
our mobile library and at each stop she opens two sessions of offline
(one for each due date difference) and codes in the route (location
code).
If the patron is checking out multiple (due date) materials, it
requires both sessions having the patron barcode scanned.
Not a perfect world.
On the bright side, we have had enough growth in our rural areas for
the cell phone companies to build more towers and we are moving away
from offline and onto wireless connection for the ML.
Also, we have not had too many instances of network or server errors
where offline was needed in the branch buildings.

Hi Hans --
Thanks for the reply and for the confirmation that you are running two
sessions of Offline on the same computer.
I had one or two others reply to me offlist pretty much describing the
same thing. And I gather that when you go to upload the two sessions,
they actually merge into the same circ.dat file
Martha Driscoll yesterday replied with some good advice that gives
caution about the sequencing of uploads of these offline files.
Thanks,
Paul

We have begun using Millennium Acquisitions with Release 2005 1.0. When
we receive an ordered book Millennium Acquisitions automatically creates
an item record. Is there any way to turn off this option? Creating
item records was formerly a function of the cataloging staff rather than
acquisitions.
Are we missing something?
Thanks for any advice on this whole process.

Hello,
We have been using auto-notices successfully for about 9 months. We
don't to
have worry about remembering to send them, and they go out automatically
on
Sundays and other days that we're closed. That way we never miss a day.
As for the bounced e-mails, we have never been able to read them, and I
have
almost given up on them. III told us it was a problem with our server.
I'm
not an IT person, but from what I understand, the Millennium server is
not
able to receive mail (otherwise it would be inundated with spam and
viruses), so the bounced e-mails just go into cyberspace. If anyone has
been able to get around this, I'd appreciate hearing about it.
The replies are a different matter. There is a place in the parameters
where
you can instruct the server to send a copy of all notices to another
e-mail
address. (This was set up during our training, I don't remember which
parameter this is, the Help Desk could probably help you with that.) Our
IT
staff set up a Circulation e-mail account which receives copies of all
these
notices. We check this account every day using a web server (we use
Horde
webmail) and respond to any replies. We keep all notices for 2 months.
Horde webmail is good because it allows you to search by e-mail address
or
text, so you can pull up any notices sent out to a particular patron if
there is a dispute. There are probably other webmail servers that do
the
same. I don't recommend sending copies of the notices to your personal
e-mail - you will be swamped with hundreds of e-mails.
We also use a disclaimer. Once the patrons get used to the e-mail
reminders, they come to depend on them, and will complain bitterly if
they
don't receive them. I always emphasize to patrons the importance of
keeping
their e-mail address up-to-date and checking it regularly.

Subject: [IUG] RE: Courtesy Notices Questions
I have been following this thread with interest because we, too, would
like to go to Courtesy Notices soon. I seem to remember from a previous
thread on this topic that is was important that we do it through 'auto
notices' so that the notices go out every day even if a 'live' person
isn't there to send the notices. Is this the reason that one can't read
the 'bounced email' as mentioned by Alan Brown? Or is that unique to
Alan's situation? Can one not specify in the setup of auto notices
anything about bounced email. What about replies? We have planned our
notice text to ask the patrons to telephone the individual libraries
with requests to renew, but what happens if they reply to the auto
notice with a request to renew? Does their reply disappear into
Millennium Cyberspace? I also appreciate the advice to create
disclaimers for incomplete lists, technology failures, etc.

Because of this very issue, we don't use the "Receive" function. We
just
go into each record in the "Orders" area and add the received date and
use
macros to add the other code changes we need.
If there is a way to turn off the item creation we would love to hear
it.

Joanne,
Thank you for this information - now that our courtesy notices are
working so well we are ready to start running them automatically.
Where do you put your disclaimer? Is it in your circulation policy?
Thank you!

on
Sundays and other days that we're closed. That way we never miss a day.
As for the bounced e-mails, we have never been able to read them, and I
have
almost given up on them. III told us it was a problem with our server.
I'm
not an IT person, but from what I understand, the Millennium server is
not
able to receive mail (otherwise it would be inundated with spam and
viruses), so the bounced e-mails just go into cyberspace. If anyone has
been able to get around this, I'd appreciate hearing about it.
The replies are a different matter. There is a place in the parameters
where
you can instruct the server to send a copy of all notices to another
e-mail
address. (This was set up during our training, I don't remember which
parameter this is, the Help Desk could probably help you with that.) Our
IT
staff set up a Circulation e-mail account which receives copies of all
these
notices. We check this account every day using a web server (we use
Horde
webmail) and respond to any replies. We keep all notices for 2 months.
Horde webmail is good because it allows you to search by e-mail address
or
text, so you can pull up any notices sent out to a particular patron if
there is a dispute. There are probably other webmail servers that do
the
same. I don't recommend sending copies of the notices to your personal
e-mail - you will be swamped with hundreds of e-mails.
We also use a disclaimer. Once the patrons get used to the e-mail
reminders, they come to depend on them, and will complain bitterly if
they
don't receive them. I always emphasize to patrons the importance of
keeping
their e-mail address up-to-date and checking it regularly.

Subject: [IUG] RE: Courtesy Notices Questions
I have been following this thread with interest because we, too, would
like to go to Courtesy Notices soon. I seem to remember from a previous
thread on this topic that is was important that we do it through 'auto
notices' so that the notices go out every day even if a 'live' person
isn't there to send the notices. Is this the reason that one can't read
the 'bounced email' as mentioned by Alan Brown? Or is that unique to
Alan's situation? Can one not specify in the setup of auto notices
anything about bounced email. What about replies? We have planned our
notice text to ask the patrons to telephone the individual libraries
with requests to renew, but what happens if they reply to the auto
notice with a request to renew? Does their reply disappear into
Millennium Cyberspace? I also appreciate the advice to create
disclaimers for incomplete lists, technology failures, etc.

Hi Mary,
We are interested in this--have you submitted an enhancement request to

Thanks,

We do things differently here. We don't use Rapid Receive. In the
orders mode, we bring up the order record and enter the date in the
rdate field. We are not prompted to create an item. If you use Rapid
Receive and don't want to create an item record, take a look at pg.
100630 in the manual.

Because of this very issue, we don't use the "Receive" function. We
just
go into each record in the "Orders" area and add the received date and
use
macros to add the other code changes we need.
If there is a way to turn off the item creation we would love to hear
it.

Please respond to

We have begun using Millennium Acquisitions with Release 2005 1.0. When
we receive an ordered book Millennium Acquisitions automatically creates
an item record. Is there any way to turn off this option? Creating
item records was formerly a function of the cataloging staff rather than
acquisitions.
Are we missing something?
Thanks for any advice on this whole process.
