Periodicals Control  {LPEM-3}


Once the order for a periodical for a future period has been placed, option {LPEM-3} is used to create the records for the receipt of the individual items.

Fields in the option:

Block 1:  Periodical Control

The procedure for using this option is:

1.      Enter the “mnemonic” of the periodical in the first field OR enter the bibliographic record number in the second field.
2.      The details of the most recent order placed for this periodical will be displayed.  

Please Note: To select a previous order the user can use the <LOV> on the  “Order Number” field.   The order number and line combination, for which this auto-generate must be done for must be selected.

Description
The following fields in respect of this order are displayed:
  • Type of Document, Order Number, Line, Item Detail Type, Sequence
  • Order Date
  • Vendor Code and Name
  • Quantity ordered (No. of Copies)
  • Frequency Indicator
Start Volume A15  The volume number as it will be displayed on the eventual item record under option {LCAO-3}.  It will consist of the first part of a number on a periodical, e.g. “Year XIV”.  The second part is entered in the next field.
Start Number  N6 The second part of the volume number will be a number: the number of the first item due in terms of this order is entered here.  The system will automatically allocate higher numbers to subsequent items.
Start Issue Date DD-MON-YYYY This is the issue date of the first item to be delivered in respect of this order.
Number of Issues Expected N3 This is the number of consecutive copies that are to be delivered in terms of this order.  For a monthly journal ordered for a year, “12” will be entered etc.
Sequence of Issue in Start Volume N3 Enter the sequence of the issue in the starting volume that is to be generated.

When these fields have been entered, and a (Y)es is been entered in the last field on the screen, the system will generate the “expected” number of records.  These can be viewed under options {LPEO-1} and {LPEM-4}.
Note  A40 A note concerning this publication can be entered in this field: it will be displayed and can be updated under option {LPEO-1}.
Number of Issues per Volume N3 If the volume changes during the year, the system will step up the volume number automatically according to the information entered in this field.
Arrival Delay Before Claim 1 (Days) N4 The system will produce claim letters to vendors.  This field will determine the number of days after the publishing date that will be allowed before the first claim letter is produced.
Generate Detail Records This option will generate all the periodical records required for the data on the screen.
This option can also be used to query on previously generated periodical copies through this option.  The user can query using the order number, bibliographic record number, mnemonic, etc.  The data, as previously entered, will be displayed. This data can, however, not be changed or updated, since the generation has already been done.  This will also enable the user to view the reasons why copies were incorrectly generated.
