    file-90 instructions include two definitions for 980$f--which is correct?

    • Article Type: General
    • Product: Aleph
    • Product Version: 19.01

    Description:
    Both the on-screen help file for file-90 and the document, "How to use FIle-90" include the following statements:
    "980 $$f – Invoice #"
    AND
    "The 981 $d field maps to Z68-LIBRARY-NOTE, and the 980 $f field maps to the Z68-VENDOR-REFERENCE-NO in the Z68 table (acquisition order records)."

    (Note that Z68-VENDOR-REFERENCE-NO is used in EDI invoicing, and is not the same field as Invoice# in ALEPH)

    So what, precisely, does 980$f map to? I know it used to work in file-96 as Z68-VENDOR-REFERENCE-NO. Before I enter yet another round of testing, I'd like to know if that's still true for file-90, and if so, where do I put Invoice# in the MARC record?

    Resolution:
    b_file_90_a calls the generic_loader program which calls:

    * generic_loader_create_order, which moves 980 $$f to the z68_vendor_reference_no

    * generic_loader_create_bdgt_tr, which reads the ./xxx50/tab/tab_loader_def table to get -- among other fields -- the Z601-INVOICE-NUMBER, which is a parameter you can specify in this table

    We will request a change to the file-90 Help (to correct the "980 $$f – Invoice #" reference).
