Using Vendor Enhanced Services

Vendor enhanced services lets you send item information (item number, collection, item type, location, and item barcode) to the vendor in an EDIFACT electronic order. The vendor then adds the information to the MARC bib records they send to you (usually in the 949 tag).

When you receive and import the MARC bib records, Horizon overlays item records with the appropriate information from the MARC bib records. This helps you reduce the work for your cataloging staff.

You can choose to use this feature for different vendor contracts with a vendor, or use the feature for any EDIFACT electronic orders for that vendor.

When you are ready to create a purchase order for a vendor and you want to use this feature, make sure you enter the correct location, collection, and item type information on either the PO header or each PO line of the purchase order.

To use vendor enhanced services

1 Open the vendor record that you want, or create a new one. (For more information, see Vendors.)

This lets you choose the vendor to whom you want to send item information in your EDIFACT orders.

2 Mark the Vendor Enhanced Services box.
3 Save your changes.
