Understanding EDIFACT Uploading and Processing for Your Consortium at a Central Location

By default, Horizon is set up to upload and process EDIFACT response files at one central library location for all libraries in your consortium. You do not need to set up any parameters for this to work. If you upload and process at one central location, when you display the EDIFACT responses in Acquisitions, Horizon displays all responses for all libraries in the consortium.

If you upload and process in this way, all libraries in your consortium can use the same vendor records, or they can choose to set up their own vendor records. Regardless of how you decide to set up vendor records, each library in the consortium must have a unique library contract/account number in the vendor record. (For more information, see Vendor Contracts/Accounts.)

You must assign a unique SAN to the central processing location in the location record. (For more information on assigning a SAN, see “Specifying Library Addresses” in the “Library Locations” section of the “General Setup” chapter of the System Administration Guide.)
