I would be interested in hearing from anyone who is successfully
transferring invoice data electronically from Innopac to their
university finance system, either using the appropriate Innopac
features, or by any other means. The University of Hull is preparing
for the installation of a new accounting system in the summer, and, as
part of the preparation, the Library is looking at how invoicing
information can be transferred electronically from Innopac to the new
finance system.
A similar query last summer produced a reply from Bangor, but maybe
there are other libraries who are now doing this.
Another question, which also relates to our new financial system,
concerns Library VAT Companies. If your university has set up such a
company, how do you distinguish between invoices which have VAT, and
those which don't? At Hull, we use different external funds, which
works fine at present as we submit paper copies of invoices to the
university finance office, and so we can indicate which external fund
to use. However, we couldn't do this if invoice data were transferred
electronically, as Innopac only allows one external fund to be
associated with any particular Innopac fund.
