Your new Lot name shows in the Lot ID field at the top!
| *Note: the Bindery Lot name is made up by using the pickup date of the Bindery shipment from the shipment date list. There is one exception: Use the previous day before the pickup date for the Music Serials Lot if you are sending two Music Lots on the same day. For example, if 050912MU is the shipment date, your Music Serials Lot would be named 050812MU. The Music Monograph Scores and the Music Serials Scores would be packed separately and labeled "Music Monos" and "Music Serials" on the boxes so the CB will know they are on separate Lots. The Lot name consists of mo|day|year (all using 2 digits) plus a suffix letter for the type of material. 050912P =Periodicals; 050912M =Monographs; 050912CC =Digicovers; 050912MU =Music Scores (see below for suffix letters). |
