Setting Up Your Library Location Addresses

If you correctly set up your library location addresses, Horizon can more easily match your library locations with electronic orders, responses, and invoices. Horizon uses the EDI Article Number (EAN) or Standard Address Number (SAN) as the unique identifier to match electronic orders and uploaded EDIFACT invoices or order responses with the library locations that they apply to.

Horizon uses the SAN or EAN that is assigned to the location you specify in the PO header.

Your location records and their addresses must meet these requirements for the EAN or SAN:

Requirement

Explanation

You must set up the EAN or SAN for only those locations for which you use the addresses for shipping and billing.

Horizon needs to use the EAN or SAN for only the location address that you have vendors send their bills to, and for the location address that you use for shipping your electronically ordered items to. All other location addresses are irrelevant to electronic ordering, invoicing, and response purposes.

Therefore, you need to complete only the EAN or SAN—and only for the address that you use for billing and the address you use for shipping.

If you have more than one location record with an EAN or SAN, then each location record must have unique EANs or SANs between them.

You can have location records that use the same EAN or SAN for the different addresses inside that same record. However, you cannot use the same EAN or SAN for addresses between different location records.

To enter the EAN or SAN for your library location

1 Start the Location Parameters process.

The default location for this process is the Administration\System Setup folder on the navigation bar.

Horizon displays a list of your library locations.

2 Highlight the location you want and click Edit to display the Edit Location Parameters window.
3 Click Page Down or resize the window to display the Address group.
4 Complete the SAN and EAN fields as necessary.
5 Save your changes.
