Book selection using work with book
This program helps to search particular book(s) in a particular project.
- In the menu, expand Publishing Modules > Book Publishing > Entry and double-click BP Work with Book. BPM035 Book Id Selection filter panel is displayed.
| Field | Description |
| Book ID | This is an ID given to a book and its description. On the search screen enter the Book for which to search. The Book ID can be automatically generated as the next sequential number within the project if set up in TMSBP/BS-BID. When a new Book ID is generated or copied, the system checks the Control File to see if IDs are to be allocated automatically. If this is the case, the system allocates the next sequential number available for the project. The Book IDs are unique within the project. |
| Title | Title of the book to be searched. |
| ISBN | International Standard Book Number (ISBN) that uniquely identifies a book or an inventory item in the system. It can be an alphanumeric Product code or an Item code. ISBN Lengths are determined in TMSDS/IM-LNG. If the new ISBN or Code does not equal the Control File setup, the system displays the following message: Warning Invalid Title Length In TMSDS/IM-CHKD a check digit can be setup. If the new ISBN entered does not match the check digit the system displays the following message: Warning: Invalid check digit on ISBN. If only a warning message is given, <ENTER> is pressed to continue. If the system displays the message “This ISBN already exists on the NEW Title Masterfile”, use the Transfer option available in the Unapproved Title Maintenance function to transfer the title from the New Title Masterfile to the main Title Masterfile. In Title Default Maintenance the field is referred to as Title (prefix/suffix). If a Prefix or Suffix is nominated here, titles that are created using this template have this detail added to the ISBN. If using multiple books for a project the ISBN for each book within the project must be different and the ISBN field on the project header must be left blank. Each paper code must be linked to a IP1 ISBN when paper is ordered, through the IP1 system; the corresponding IP1 ISBN is retrieved. |
