Retrieving Biblio Edition ID

How to find a Biblio Edition ID number from BiblioSuite if needed

GreenLight can pull data from Bibliographic systems such as Biblio, Firebrand or ONIX to help create artwork and keep it in sync with production specs and sales requirements such as pricing.

When connecting to Virtusales BiblioSuite API GreenLight accesses this via an Edition ID which is linked to the ISBN.

If the Editon number is not available then GreenLight will alert and offer the chance to find and enter the Edition ID to continue.
