UnitechEDI Support - ISBN13

ISBN13 and Follett's 10/18/06

You may have been contacted by Follett's to test ISBN13 processing in the EDI documents that you trade with them.

What this means for UnitechEDI clients

UnitechEDI has worked with Follett's EDI group to test ISBN10 and ISBN13 in all EDI documents. Follett has approved the test and will not require UnitechEDI clients to test with them separately. This applies to POs, POAs and invoices

If you have release 3.144 or higher of the EDIxl software installed on your system, your software will comply with Follett's ISBN13 initiative at this time. To check your software release number, open the UnitechEDI dashboard and double click Release Notes under the Other Options menu on the right hand side of the dashboard. If your release number is lower than 3.144, you can download and install the current release by clicking the Update Software button on the dashboard. Once you have confirmed that you have the compliant software version, please email UnitechEDI support staff to update your configuration files to turn on ISBN13 processing for Follett.

How the software works

Once our support staff has flagged Follett's on your system as an ISBN13 trading partner, your subsequent outbound documents will be converted to ISBN13 formatted items even if you are still using ISBN10 internally. We will notify Follett's when the switch has been made.
