[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Acquisitions - EDI & Order Identifier

[St. John, Leslie]

We are in the process of setting up EDI. 

We have discovered that on newer items some vendors supply their own unique product number in the 001 or 028, there is no 020 (ISBN), 022 (ISSN) or 024 (UPC)in the vendor supplied record. As a result, the Acquisitions Line Item Order Identifier doesn't pick up the necessary information from the 001 or 028 tags and then when the purchase order is sent the vendor doesn't receive the product ID with the order.  

Short of typing the number in the order identifier data well, does anybody have a workaround for the system reading and using the 001 or 028 so that it goes back to the vendor on the PO via EDI?  

10000 thanks for ANY info, leads or suggestions.
