Thanks for everyone's help. I had the GIR correct in half my orders but not in the other half where I want different covering on the books. We use GIR 2 as we have our locations set up oddly and this works well for us and Dawsons.

Dear all,
Innovative later drew our attention to the following part of the manual:
The Millennium Manual page 105116 details the settings you need to correctly send multi-location orders - specifically, you need to set the GIR CODE field in the Vendor record to the correct value:
1. Enter one of the following values in the GIR CODE field to specify which information is included in the GIR segment of the order.
Value
Data Sent
Comments
0
no GIR
(default)
1
GIR, no address
Used to send location and fund details for each copy in a multi-copy order
2
GIR with address
Used to send multiple SEND-TO addresses if the library wants to receive copies from a single order at multiple locations.
3
GIR with call number, no address
Used to send the call number to facilitate ordering materials that are shelf-ready upon receipt.
4
GIR with call number and address
Used to send both the call number and multiple SEND-TO addresses.
so with the GIR set to '1' multi-location orders should transmit correctly, if this does not work for you, then please get a call open with Help Desk to investigate!
We're currently testing this with our suppliers...

Catherine, Beverley,
We use the 'VEN NOTE' field to transmit our required shelf mark (if necessary) and for each location of a multi order. We put the number of copies in brackets after each separate location. Not ideal I know but seems to work fine with all vendors.
Regards,
Simon

Catherine, we send separate orders for each location with EDI orders, as we found our suppliers weren't getting the correct information, and didn't have time to explore it fully...
If you do hear of a work round, I'd be interested if you could pass it on,

Subject: Edifact question re multi location
We seem to be having problems with the location 'multi' not transmitting as separate GIR lines to Dawsons indicating the number of copies for each location. Is this a general problem or is it just something here?
Thanks
