Description Radek Šiman (R-Bit Technology, s.r.o.) 2016-11-25 19:53:15 UTC
Sometimes we need to receive double issues of serials. In fact it results in a changed numbering of the first issue from "10/2016" to "10-11/2016". The other issue "11/2016" should get "not available" status.

Hi Radek,
the current workflow we recommend for dealing with double issues is:
- Receive the serial, set it to expected and change the numbering.
  Example: Change 5 to be 5/6
- The next issue (6) is predicted - set it's status to 'Deleted'
- The next issue is predicted - 7. All good.

Does this help?

Hi Kathrin,

workflow that you mentioned we use. But our librarians call for one step solution like this:
- Receive the serial as double, set it to expected and change the numbering.
  Example: Change 5 to be 5/6 and autmatic delete next issue.

It`s just easier way that consume less time. Not really great new feature. Is it acceptable point of view?

Mike

Hi Mike, of course it is - just wanted to share how you can achieve your goal at the moment. Maybe it could be a checkbox 'delete next' or similar on the issue receive screen.
