Page Comparison

• Library currently communicates all orders with large vendors via EDI. This reduces the amount of duplicate effort needed to manage acquisitions through this vendor. Often this is because the vendor could not or would not support a direct API integration with their ILS system
• Users need to confirm that they don't already own or have an outstanding or for the material they want to acquire. This is most easily done in the LSP system. Libraries will then check multiple vendors to compare pricing before acquisition.

• Library needs to configure different EDI details for different organizations. Often files need to be uploaded to different directories or use different naming conventions or different codes
• Horrasawitz does not accept standing orders via EDI so the library will send PDFs via mail or email.

• The institution has multiple libraries there will be different pickup and dropoff directories for the EDI files. Meaning two separate EDI files would be uploaded to two separate directories OR two separate FTP locations. Eg. one for Main library and one for Law
• Some accounts with different envelope addresses (Library EDI codes) may be included on the same EDI file OR the library may need to have them exported on separate files. 

• When we know files are being uploaded later in the day to the FTP location, someone may notice that an order was included on the wrong file. To correct this they will edit the order and indicate it should be exported and save. This should allow this order to be included in the file before it is uploaded to the Vendors FTP location at the set time.
• The library has not noticed that the box was checked and would like to uncheck the export box after it was opened but before it was included in the export.
• Library occasionally will want to re-send an order in a "new" export file. Say there has been a change of Vendor.

• For a given vendor the library may send most orders through EDI but treat some order types differently.
• Data that drives the identification of a different communication method
  • Account number (Team/location/Acquisition unit. These would likely be represented by account number)
  • Acquisition method (for diff methods the order may of may not be exported for a given Vendor)
  • Order type (One-time, Ongoing, Ongoing-subs)
  • Material type (this could be a concern but generally if it is it will be backed into the account number or order type)

• For some material types the library will send order info through EDI but for others, they may create orders in the vendor systems and recreate in FOLIO.
• The library will differentiate between rush and non-rush. Non-rush orders going through EDI and Rush orders going through email
• Orders that are identified as certain acquisition methods should NOT be exported because the Vendor would already have these orders. 

• If something goes wrong with the upload to ftp (Which does happen) we need to be able to resend the EDI file, without regenerating it and sending additional orders along with it.

from POL. 

This allows export decisions to be based on the Organization AND Acquisition method.

Should separate POLs potentially have different export settings?

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.

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.
