Creating Additional Copy Redirections

Prerequisites

A subscriber requests that their newspaper or magazine be redirected to their temporary address during a period spent abroad, with regular delivery continuing to the original ship-to party address.

You reproduce the limited change to delivery and billing (additional purchase costs, shipping costs to a foreign country) as an additional copy redirection.

The following prerequisites must be fulfilled:

  • There must be an appropriate delivery viability set in the system for the redirection abroad, for example delivery type: Foreign Post , geographical unit: Italy .

  • The default delivery type for redirections should be entered in the general control parameters in Customizing for the order ( Periodical Sales and Distribution ) if applicable.

If you select the Inactive Items indicator in Customizing for Periodical Sales and Distribution , you can also execute this function if the order item has been terminated or there is an unlimited suspension.

Procedure

  1. Select the item in the item overview or call up the item data on the item to be changed.

    See Changing Subscription Orders and Changing External Delivery Orders

  2. Choose +or Start of the navigation path Edit Next navigation step Change functions Next navigation step Add.copy redirection. End of the navigation path

    The maintenance screen for the change item appears.

  3. Enter the following data:

    • Period for redirection ( Valid from/to )

    • Schedule line quantity

    • Choose the temporary address or create it as a delivery address.

      The system uses the temporary address (for example, the country is the geographical unit) to automatically determine the parameters for the delivery viability set. If the system finds several delivery viability sets, it lists these in a dialog box for selection.

  4. Save the changed order.

Result

Deliveries are made to the subscriber's temporary address and at the same time to the original ship-to party address throughout the validity period of the change item. Billing is performed for the additional purchase and for shipping costs for sending the subscription abroad (for example by airmail). In the case of external delivery orders, billing of the additional purchase is performed by the other publisher.
