Re: [IUG] Acqusitions approval plans and migration from another system

Good luck Pat.
When we changed over to III, many years ago, we had to put in every
standing order title.  We put one serial order record on the standing
order bib's and use it to receive against until it's full, then put on
another, and so on, and so on.

Hello,

     I'm new to the list.  We are migrating from another system to
Millennium and would like to bring over our Continuations/Standing
Orders/Blanket PO information.  These are not actual orders.  We are
using the Approval Plan function of our existing system to store
information about these types of orders.  The Plan record contains a
code for the "plan", a series title, a vendor name, and notes about
the
title (such as Purchase every 2nd year, or Purchase everything for
this
title, or Review before purchase.  When creating an order, there is a
field in the order record for the plan code and it "populates" the
order
record with the vendor information, and we then complete the order
with
the correct item title, isbn, and other order information.  That order
is now linked to the plan and a report can be produced showing all
orders under the plan code.



     My question is this: is there anything in Millennium that is the
equivalent of a "plan"?  I could not find anything in the user manual
for this specifically.  What I did find was two ways to create
continuations/standing orders (using serials checkin or a monographic
method which did not have to have an order attached).  I realize we
are
using our current system in a non-standard fashion, but we sure would
hate to lose the information for 435 continuations and standing orders.
