This video shows how easy it is to use the Earliest Check-in Date option.

It can be automatically set based on the Subscription Start Date.

This feature is invoked when creating a 2nd prediction for a different type of material e.g. Electronic rather than Physical or there is a change of prediction date from the Physical material.

The benefits of using Prediction to increase efficiencies in receipting are explained.

The recording of the Volume Number for a Journal is introduced. This can be disabled if a Subscription being created does not have a Volume Number. It is shown how to apply the Volume control where the volume number of a subscription has a continuously incrementing number.
