Notes when setting up invoice data import

  • You can choose to import service charges at the invoice level or at the item level, or both.
    • Item-level service charges will be included in the invoice item.
    • Invoice-level service charges will create a non-bibliographic invoice item for these charges.
  • To import item-level service charges, you must use a price of type AAB. (see table above)
  • Item-level service charges are imported per unit. This means that the service charges will be multiplied by the quantity to calculate the service charge for the item. This could result in higher-than-anticipated service charges if the quantity is greater than one.
  • Item-level taxes can only be imported as a percentage, not an amount.
