Claim Report and Letters for Monograph Orders (acq-12)

File Name: acq-claim-rep

Runs: Monday - Friday

Description: This service enables you to produce a report listing monographs that have not yet arrived and to produce claim letters to be sent to the vendor. The report produces two printouts: one printout will list all orders for which the Batch Claiming checkbox in the Order Form was chosen, while the other printout will list all orders for which the Batch Claiming checkbox was not chosen.

The report includes the allocations, transfers, encumbrances, invoices not paid, payments, estimated and actual balance and the maximum over-commitments and over-expenditures set for the budget. The report can also reflect the budget hierarchical structure by activating the fields: Balance by Hierarchy and Expand Budgets in Hierarchy.

Note that when selecting Balance by Hierarchy and/or Expand Budgets in Hierarchy, the filters (e.g Budget Type, Status) are not activated.

Serial Claim Report and Letter

File Name: ser-issue-clm-rpt

Runs: Weekly

Description: Serial claim report program, written by ITD, has the capability of producing report and generating claim letters & updating Aleph. As requested by the Acquisitions/Serial Community, currently only the former is utilized and the latter is a manual process. To produce a report, the program identifies items with certain item process statuses and expected arrival date or issue date, retrieves data and then parses out the appropriate information to each campus' Task Manager.

Two pieces of data determine the inclusion of items on a report: item process statuses, i.e., CL, EX, or NA, and the expected arrival date or the issue date (for items created in version 15). One easy way to identify items that created in version 15 is that the expected arrival date and the issue date are the same. Here is how the calculations are done

The report sorting is by title/ADM doc#/issue date/description.
