FAQs: Creating and Modifying Address Formats

How do I change the entries I am prompted for when I type a user address?

See the following procedure for changing entries that appear in user address formats.

What entry lists appear for vendor and user addresses when I am performing different tasks in SirsiDynix Symphony?

The following list indicates which entry lists appear for vendor and user addresses when performing different tasks in SirsiDynix Symphony:

TEMPLATE entries for vendor and user addresses always appear when a user or vendor is created or modified.
FULL entries for vendor and user addresses always appear at the workstation or print in report lists.
BRIEF entries for vendor and user addresses are used in report notices, pipe-delimited output files, and labels.

You should not have any entries in the BRIEF or FULL formats that are not also in your TEMPLATE format, or you will not be able to create user or vendor addresses which contain the entry missing from your TEMPLATE. Also, if you do not have all of the TEMPLATE entries in your FULL and BRIEF formats, they will not display or print in reports.

How do I create a Vendor EDI Address format?

The Vendor EDI Address Format policy includes the necessary field definitions for the formatting, sending, and receiving of X12 transactions. This format wizard can be accessed from either the Acquisitions Configuration wizard group or Serial Control Configuration wizard group.

Using EDI (X12) for ordering is different from using the SirsiDynix Symphony MARC Order Loader for 9XX ordering. For more information, see FAQs: Comparing X12 and 9XX Ordering.

The following is the default Vendor EDI Address Format policy.

Some vendors require the files received from libraries have an .xpo file extension. Ingram (a vendor that supports EDI transactions) requires the .xpo file extension. SirsiDynix Symphony will add this extension to exported files if the vendor’s EDI address entry for XFER_SCR contains the command: ftpsendxpo.

Blackwell North America (BNA) uses a unique file naming convention for uploading files to their file server. SirsiDynix Symphony will convert the exported file names if the vendor’s EDI address entry for XFER_SCR contains the command: ftpsendblackwell.

BNA puts all types of files in their directory for pickup. If the RCPT_SCR entry contains the command: ftpreceiveblackwell, then only those files that start with XI in the remote directory will be received.
