OIS has recently completed an enhancement that will further automate invoice payment in Aleph.

Units receiving EDI or OIS-generated invoices will no longer have to update each line item with the correct Object Code in Aleph. A new script evaluates the Material Type / Material Format in the linked Order Record and maps them to an Object Code. Only line items that are unlinked to Order Records will have to be manually updated with an Object Code. The mapping of Material Type / Material Format to Object Code was vetted by Technical Services managers and conforms to the most common usage of Object Codes. Units that diverge from common practice may need to change the Object Codes in the invoices that are updated through this process. These Material Types are currently included in this service: BK, BW, SE, SM, SP, VV.
