Description

This program updates the delivery quantities for each shipping date in the circulation book. The program was designed specially for editions with the audit report type "ABC (USA)".

What is the circulation book?

The circulation book is a summarized statistics table used as a data basis for various evaluations and circulation auditing programs.

What data is updated?

The program generates entries in the circulation book (technical table name JITCIRCBOOK). The following deliveries are included in the update:

  • This program must be specified as the update program in the audit report type for the edition delivered (Customizing setting)
  • The shipping date for the delivery must be in the past (selection is only possible with past values for the shipping date)
  • Deliveries not yet updated in the circulation book (a technical flag in the delivery prevents delivery update from being repeated)
  • Deliveries for ad pre-print distribution and delta coverage are not included.

Records are also updated in the circulation book for the following editions, although it should be noted that the category is determined from the audit report type of the edition purchased explicitly in the sales order:

  • Editions (of the same publication) delivered as substitutes
  • Combined editions (e.g. Sunday editions)
  • Inserted titles (e.g. supplements)

An indicator (JVTLFNG-XIVWFORTS) is selected in all deliveries updated to the circulation book. This indicator is also selected in the deliveries whose editions are not assigned to an audit report type (to prevent these deliveries from being read again and interpreted unnecessarily by an index).

Selection options

You must specify a shipping period for which the circulation book data is to be updated in the selection criteria. This period must be in the past. You can either specify it in the form of a from-to interval or by entering a number of lead days. If you do the latter, this number of days is subtracted from the current date; the update is performed for the period from '0' up to the date calculated.

The deliveries to be updated can also be restricted by plant ('supplying printing works'), publication purchased and edition. This means, for example, that you can perform a parallel update for different editions simultaneously.

Important
This selection option refers to the publications and editions purchased, not to the products delivered.

Which other technical control options does the program provide?

A variety of parameters allow you to influence the way in which the program functions:

  • You can specify a cancellation time and (optional) date to have the circulation book update cancelled at a certain point before completion. All delivery data processed up to this point is updated. The selected deliveries that have not yet been updated by this time are processed later when the program is run again if they are within the selected data area.
    You only need to specify a cancellation time for variants that are to be scheduled daily - you do not need to explicitly specify a date.
  • A selection parameter allows you to choose to perform a test run. If you select this parameter, the program simply creates a log but does not make any changes to the database.

Requirements

Which data must be maintained?

There must be deliveries for editions that have an audit report type that corresponds to the report and that are valid in the selected period.

The orders on which the deliveries are based must be classified according to the audit report type.

Which types of processing must not be run parallel to the circulation book update?

No functions used to change deliveries should be executed parallel to the circulation book update. These functions are the following:

  • Return processing
  • Netchange for circulation planning
  • Regenerative planning for circulation planning
  • Delivery processing
  • Shipping lead time for insertion/distribution/delta coverage
  • Other update programs (LIS or circulation book) where the plants, publications or editions selected overlap

Output

Form of log output

Individual generated or changed records are not output in the circulation book. Instead, the report creates a general log of its activities containing information on

  • Controlling selection criteria
  • Number of deliveries processed
  • Number of circulation book records changed or created
  • Start and end time of program

The log also contains information on any problems and inconsistencies encountered during the update.

The log is also recorded physically on the database as a general application log. This means you can display it at any point later. Tools allowing you to do this can be found in the circulation book.
