Re: EBSCO electronic invoice in MilAcq

[Cheri Duncan <duncancj at jmu dot edu>]

We've not had any trouble with loading EBSCO invoices in Millennium with 
the exception of one EBSCO invoice that hung the posting because the 
data format had an error in it.  Innovative corrected the problem the 
same day. We've been using the Millennium Import Invoice feature since 
we upgraded in July for both EBSCO serials and BNA approval invoices
