Inclusion of Blackwell's Title Number in EDI orders created from Blackwell's rec

• Article Type: General

Description:
Is there a way for Aleph libraries to automatically return in EDI orders a Title Number appearing in Blackwell's MARC records loaded using p_file_96?

Some time ago I was told by Ex Libris that if Blackwell includes its Title Number in the 981$h of MARC records, the number would then automatically appear in the LIN+FTX segment of EDI order lines. But this doesn't seem to be happening.

As an alternative, Blackwell could include its Title Number in any MARC field/subfield (e.g., 980$f) of records loaded using p_file_96, if it will facilitate return of the number somewhere in the resulting EDI order line (e.g., in a PIA segment qualified by SA, which is the supplier's article number).

The appearance of Blackwell's title number in EDI orders servers multiple functions, so thanks for any help you can provide on this issue.

Resolution:
Looking at the documentation for p_file_96, I find that if you include data in the 980 $f, it will be loaded into the Vendor Reference Number of the ALEPH Order record. When an EDI Line Item is created from that order, the Vendor Reference Number is included in an RFF+SLI segment. The protocol says this is the “Supplier’s unique order line reference number (EDItEUR code)”

Tested with U of Minnesota - Mankato. They loaded the following bib record exported from Blackwell's web-based Collection Manager system using p_file_96:

Here is the EDI order line with the number from 980$f of the record exported from Collection Manager export record in the RFF+SLI segment:
