[IUG] Millennium Acquisitions, EDIFACT, and electronic invoicing

["William Gray" <wgray at greenwichlibrary dot org>]

Dear fellow IUGers,

I've been looking into the possibilities for electronic invoicing at our
library, and there are a few areas I'm still fuzzy on.  Does anyone know
where I may get a detailed blow-by-blow of the electronic invoicing
process in Millennium?  The vendor we'd be setting this up with uses the
EDIFACT format, thus we'd need that module from III.  I tried the
Clearinghouse, but I didn't find anything of note. I looked in the r2005
manual and reviewed what it had to say both on setting up and using
electronic invoicing, but I'm hoping that someone else out there who is
already using the EDIFACT module (with, say, a vendor like B&T) might
have a detailed breakdown of the ordering, invoicing/posting processes I
could look at.  My initial questions are in regard to overlaying of bib
records, and how a partially-completed order would be handled (as in,
they didn't send all the books at once).

I know there were other requests for this type of information on the
list previously, so if anyone is willing to share, I ask that you please
post to the list (unless you deem the information confidential, of
course).

Thanks!
