Is there a difference between prodcut ID or record ID?
Can be added manually, automatically from inventory (if title already resides there)
example: 20 volume set - each volume needs to be ordered by itself (no set ordering needed)
What ISBN / ISSN shall be transmitted to the vendors? All of them or a choice? Which choice?
Different workflows need different data:
import from vendor
start in inventory with bibliographic data
start in orders = no item data for partial volume available
How to identify the "right" ID for the order process (= most relevant to the vendor)?
one agreed option: just take ISBN-13, drop ISBN-10
Offer a picking list of ISBN's to choose from for the order - see differentiation by the "addon information, e.g print / paperback"
Picking list for all kind of ID's?
e-material: bibliographic data maybe not sufficient - vendor specific information needs to be added to the orders - if it is not orders via vendor webshop
Usage of notes?
Good integration of most important vendor webshops is critical - workflows switch from "sending orders out of the system" to "import orders into the system"
Option for "personal choice" is needed
No support of ID's marked as "invalid" - even if this is not always correct - other option: mark them as "invalid" in the picking list
Other ID's - choice is presented: more talk with MM SIG
If only ISBN-10 is present, ISBN-13 should be calculated and used for the process
Search with and without hyphens
ISBNs in MARC records are mainly saved without hyphens
is it necessary to show them again anywhere: we know that librarians opinions differ here - but maybe no real need
