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...

We put the number of copies in brackets after each separate location. Not ideal I know but seems to work fine with all vendors.

Is this a general problem or is it just something here?
