| Value | Description | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 01 | Early notification | Use for a complete record issued earlier than approximately six months before publication |
| 02 | Advance notification (confirmed) | Use for a complete record issued to confirm advance information approximately six months before publication; or for a complete record issued after that date and before information has been confirmed from the book-in-hand |
| 03 | Notification confirmed on publication | Use for a complete record issued to confirm advance information at or just before actual publication date; or for a complete record issued at any later date |
| 04 | Update (partial) | In ONIX 3.0 only, use when sending a ‘block update’ record. In previous ONIX releases, ONIX updating has generally been by complete record replacement using code 03, and code 04 is not used |
| 05 | Delete | Use when sending an instruction to delete a record which was previously issued. Note that a Delete instruction should NOT be used when a product is cancelled, put out of print, or otherwise withdrawn from sale: this should be handled as a change of Publishing status, leaving the receiver to decide whether to retain or delete the record. A Delete instruction is only used when there is a particular reason to withdraw a record completely, eg because it was issued in error |
