EDI ordering for different accounts at B&T (Enriched)
- Article Type: General
- Product: Alma
Desired Outcome Goal:
Setting up separate EDI accounts with Baker & Taylor requires -
* A suffix added to the NAD line (Name and Address) of the buyer/library.
Desired result will display with a space between the buyer code and the suffix.
For example: 'NAD+BY+123456789000 1000::9'
* The UNB segment will contain the buyer/library code without the suffix.
For example: 'UNB+UNOC:3+VendorEdiCode:EdiType+123456789000:Type+Date:time+110’
Procedure:
Configure the vendor's EDI information tab this way:
* Set the "EDI vendor format" to "Baker & Taylor Enriched"
* Ensure your Organization Unit code contains the suffix (for example: "123456789000 1000")
