Re: [IUG] III Acquisitions

["Lena Safi" <SafiL at wpbpl dot com>]

>From my experience with BT (I did not have any problems with our other
major vendor - Midwest Tape):

1. To have your PO in your order records:
Set your brief MARC profile @TS3 to have PO number in a 961 subfield
(ours is 961|p).

2. To load PO into Millennium, add a line to your order load table:
/^961||p|0|0|o|p|0|n|N|1|PO number
(We have this field indexed in blanket PO index)

3. To pass your PO number with edifact file to the vendor:
I've been through this problem with BT and they initially told me that
it was impossible (I heard all about RFF ON, etc.) But then they managed
to find a solution and said that it would be available for all their
customers. Our PO number is now in our order records and on invoices; it
also shows correctly in vendor acknowledgments. 
III HelpDesk did not need to get involved with this change, it's a
vendor fix!
You can contact Jeff Daniel (BT Systems Support Specialist) at
1-800-775-1200 ext 2741, danielj at btol dot com and refer to the setup he did
for our library back in Oct/Nov 2007. Per BT Vendor Interface
Specialist, they "switched the map... so that the customer's PO number
[is passed] instead of the III generated PO number. The PO number should
be sent in the RFF+ON segment."

Moria,
 
Although this is something that I not yet have worked on implementing
here:
 
It sounds like you need to somehow tweak your OneClick loader to allow
for a defined subfield of the 960/961 tags to go into the variable field
"L" in the MilAcq order record.  Once the loader is set with a field
(say 960 subfield "L" ), then the Download Profile in B&T's TS3 would
need to be set to take the cart's PO# and put that into that subfield
for the MARC file creation and download.
 
I think that will accomplish what you want.
 
If it does, please let me know what it took to get the PO# from the TS3
cart all the way into EDIFACT file so that B&T actually has a PO# for
the order instead of their automatically created long number.
(Especially III setup through the HelpDesk or B&T tech support for
setting changes).
 
Hope This Helps.

Are you inputting a value into your MilAcq variable field "l"? Whatever
you put in that field in each order record will be transferred in the
RFF+ON data to B&T during EDIFACT transmission.

I'm not sure how One Click MARC works, but depending on your work flow,
if you are starting at B&T, putting orders in carts, loading into III
and then sending the orders back to B&T through EDIFACT, you will also
need to change the Cart Options and enter a Purchase Order number in
TS3.

We're still fine-tuning our setup, but let me know if you have any other
questions.

Hi,
 
We use Ingram for Edifact ordering.  I don't know what RFF ON segment of
the file is, but thought I'd share what we had to do could help since it
took us awhile to get our PO mapped with Ingram.  In order for us to get
our in-house PO number to reference on the order record, we had to have
the PO information mapped to a 960 field on our load table.  When we
download the list (or cart) we assign our PO and it is populated in the
variable length field of the created order record.  This doesn't change
the III po number, but includes our PO number in the order records and
as a line item on our hard copy invoices.  I'd be happy to answer any
questions.

Good Afternoon,
 
We have 43 libraries using III Acquisitions, with Edifact Ordering,
Invoicing and One Click Marc. We are trying to change the III generated
number of an order file to a PO the libraries enter in their Title
Source III carts. Baker and Taylor has set this up on their end but I am
having trouble getting the correct information from innovative. Baker
and Taylor told me that the PO has to show up in the RFF ON segment of
the file. III set-up a variable field of l (local PO). I don't think
this is right, I can't seem to populate this field. If anyone has done
anything similar to this I would appreciate any information you can give
me. I have been going back and forth with this for weeks????
 
Thank You in Advance,
