Chapter 2. SUBSCRIPTION SETUP
Handling Irregular Subscriptions
There are three methods of using the Prediction Algorithm with irregular subscriptions:
- Do not enter any information in the Prediction Algorithm. In this case,
only one issue will be listed at a time in the Predicted Issues table on the
Issue Check-In screen (see
Checking In Issues for details), and the
Issue Number will be listed as "UNPREDICTABLE."
NOTE: No claims will be generated if this method is used.
- Enter captioning information only, such as enumeration and/or chronology.
Captioning information will then be shown for predicted issues.
NOTE: No claims will be generated if this method is used.
- Enter "dummy" captioning, frequency and regularity information (this information can be changed during check-in for each issue received). In this case, the system will generate claims on the basis of the "dummy" information, which can be used as an alert to possible missed issues.
