    Description:
    When I attempt to place an order in Aleph with the NABUD Order Unit I receive an Invalid Order Unit error message (see attached). I checked the sublibraries for the Vendor and Budget and double checked my permissions. Everything is in proper order.

    Is there something missing in the setup for this new order unit?

    Resolution:
    Aleph checks to be sure that the value entered is actually an Order Unit. That is, that it's defined in $alephe_tab/tab_sub_library.eng as being of type '5' in column 2. There is an entry for NABUD in the table with column 2 = '5', but before that is a duplicate entry of NABUD with column 2 = '1'. The system is finding the NABUD sublibrary first, and therefore failing on the check for type=5.

    Note that the header specifies 'Each sublibrary code must be unique in this table, and column 1 contains the sublibrary code. You'll have to modifiy the Order Unit name.
