NOTE

Innovative offers different products for processing different types of invoice files, including:

Extended Approval Plan Interface
If your organization has acquired Extended Approval Plan Interface, you can process invoice files received from vendors in MARC format. You can process invoices for:
- firm orders for monographs
- monographs received on approval
NOTE
Processing firm orders for monographs requires a firm order MARC record load table. Your organization also can purchase vendor-specific load tables and load tables that include item data. Contact Innovative to purchase load tables.
In the absence of a firm order MARC record load table, all incoming shipments are treated as records awaiting approval.
