Further to the messages from Mieko and Tony, I'll add the results of some
correspondence I recently had with the Innopac Helpdesk on this. My enquiry
was speculative because, although we have purchased Electronic Serials
Invoicing, it is not yet in use here; it has emerged that we need to
purchase Electronic Serials Claiming separately. Anyway, the correspondence
is below; I hope it is of some help.

My query:
We are considering purchase of the Electronic Claiming module. If we had it
we would need to have vendor subscription reference numbers loaded into the
Vendor ID record. Is there a facility for doing this automatically rather
than manually? An automatic vendor ID loading feature was announced for the
Serials Invoice Interface in an INNOVATIVE EMAIL to customers on 4 April
1998 and I would be interested to know if this feature also applies to
Electronic Claiming
Extract from HelpDesk reply:
Yes, there is such a feature, as controlled by the eo: ven_id, since
rls.11. As soon as we (library and iii) decide on which field to use, we
can turn that on. Then, when in electronic invoicing, at the ACCEPT/REJECT
stage, you can just select the option, and the data will be updated per all
the titles within that invoice.
