CODE 360 O/R FORMULA UPDATE/ADD
Code 360 holds title order regulation information needed to calculate a new base (average sale) when a title is distributed.  Each title can be assigned a formula number to be used for distribution.  The formula file maybe "flagged" to use Sale Trend: the standard deviation of a title with selected retailer(s).

If no formula number is assigned, the DPS system will use one of the standard distribution formula (numbers 1 - 8) assigned by the DPS system based on the frequency of the title.  Number 9 through 9999 can be used for defining order regulation formulas for specialized agency and supplier (National Distributor or Publisher) requirements.
