• Article Type: General
• Product: Aleph
• Product Version: 18.01

Description:
In Acquisitions, select bib record, add a new order, fill in essential information & click add in lower right box. Note that the order number has been copied to the Additional order no. 2 box. How can we prevent it?

Resolution:
If "setenv unique_order_number_2 in aleph_start is set to "Y" and the Additional Order No. 2 field is not populated, the Z68-ORDER-NUMBER value is copied to Z68-ORDER-NUMBER-2, i. e. to the GUI Additional Order No.2 field.

In order to prevent copying of an order number to Additional Order No. 2 field, you should have:

setenv unique_order_number_2 N
