Learn how to add infrequent or bonus issues in Amlib.

Adding infrequent issues or bonus issues 

A Copy and Paste facility is available in both the Copies section on the Main Periodical Screen and in the Issues section of the Subscriptions Screen. This allows an infrequent subscription to be added into the issues table when an unexpected issue arrives. This may be for an extra donated copy or unexpected Bonus issues.
