Aleph Update: Loading EDI invoices into Aleph

This is a reminder to any units considering use of the EDI process to load invoices into Aleph. In preparation for serial renewal invoices in the Fall, libraries who have not already requested EDI invoices should begin the process of verifying that vendors have current Aleph purchase order numbers on file. It may be necessary for some order units to work with vendors to update order numbers for serials and standing orders established prior to Aleph implementation. Vendors can often facilitate this by providing spreadsheets which can be used to update batches of orders. Should the library request it, OIS can mediate this process.

For more information, please read "EDI Invoices in Aleph," available from the Aleph Documentation Center:
