Publishing Info

The Publishing Info option is used to store a unique 15-digit barcode for each publication/edition combination for each publishing date. This barcode can be included in imports and exports along with an ANA/URN (unique reference number) that identifies a single copy route. The ANA/URN can be included in the bundle top export and is used, in conjunction with the barcode, when importing returns.
