Question

If a library has branches in different countries, can each branch have a different ADM library with different currencies? How would this affect Acquisitions or Circulation?

Answer

Regarding Circulation:

All programs are looking at ./xxx01/form_eng for forms when anything from Circulation or Acquisitions is printed. Libraries usually have this line in ./xxx50/tab/path_convert:

 

$xxx50_dev/xxx50/form_eng             $xxx01_dev/xxx01/form_eng

If this line is removed, each ADM can have its own forms in xxx50/form_eng, so different currencies on the forms should not be a problem. 

 

Regarding Acquisitions:

The default local currency is set in aleph_start, but the display can be adjusted for each ADM. This line appears in the ./xxx50/tab/path_convert:

 

$xxx01_dev/xxx01/pc_display_eng       $xxx50_dev/usm50/pc_display_eng

Again, if this line is removed, each ADM can have its own currency display on the GUI with the pc_display files for that ADM. Local currency can also be removed from the display files.
