Library code/subcode

Required. Length: 1‑7. Type: alphanumeric.

Enter the Library Code/subcode for the Inventory Member you want to update. The Library Code/subcode must already exist in CA‑PanAPT. CA‑PanAPT treats members with the same name but different Inventory qualifiers as distinct members.
