Dear Shri Shubash,

As you also know that an Accession register is 'record book' of library books which has certain pre-defined columns for entering the data related to the books. 

Accession registers are subject the libraries. A library has only accession register (may be multi-volume). There is no any logic of keeping separate accession register. Being a librarian you can separate the books as per their classes(by the help of DDC, CC etc). 

In your case, if you have a centralised purchase policy then you can make a unique accession register by clubbing the data of entire access registers and change the numbers if already stamped over the books.

Suppose if you are sending central library's books to a department library then you can maintain a lending register or a stock issue-return register or the same may be mentioned in the last column of the accession register generally in the remarks column. 

I have tried to explain clearly, understandable if you have any doubt please mention in the comment box. 

Thank you.
