| Do you have multiple configurations for individual libraries? |
| Even if the the library or entities within the library have different base accounts they MAY have separate Library EDI Codes or not. FOLIO will need to allow different configuration to have the same library editing code and vendor editing code. | If there were going to be multiple configuration there would likely be multiple vendor records. This is generally the case when there are separate base accounts. | |||||||||
| Do you separate orders by account in separate EDI files in in a single file? |
| Separate accounts sometimes appear on the same file in the same location. They can also be separated, this is not a concern for the vendor processing and is common practice. | From the GOBI perspective the same customer may send multiple files in a single day. It is unusual to have separate locations for an individual institution. It typically happens when you have one base account but separate subs for law, bus, etc. which will be uploaded to diff directory locations. | |||||||||
| Does the file need a specific identifier? |
| Doesn't have to be specific format just needs to be unique over time | What the ID is is not really a concern so long as the file names are not duplicated. If you are going to "re-send" a file within 90 days. The danger is if the file name is the same it will not be "Reprocessed" because GOBI keeps track of what's been processed. | |||||||||
| Does the library need to contact GOBI when a file needs to be "Re-loaded"? |
| As long as they have a resend function they can contact the vendor and the vendor will sort out the file. | The concern is more that the file never reach gobi. Ie. it wasn't successfully uploaded. In this case it would need to be resent. |
