Electronic Orders, Responses, and Invoices

If you want to use electronic orders, order responses, or invoices, you must make sure you do the correct setup tasks. If you do not do these tasks or comply with the setup requirements in these tasks, then you may get error messages while sending or receiving electronic messages. Most of these setup tasks apply to electronic orders, responses, and invoices for the EDIFACT format. However, if you use a combination of EDIFACT and BISAC ordering formats or even just the BISAC ordering format, you should still do the tasks in this section. If you use just the BISAC ordering format, the only difference in setup is that the format does not use the EDI Article Number (EAN) for vendors or locations.

You can use electronic responses and invoices only with the EDIFACT format.

To set up Horizon to work correctly with electronic orders, responses, and invoices, you must do these tasks that are outlined in this section:

1. Correctly set up your vendor records and vendor contracts/accounts. (For more information, see Setting Up Your Vendor Records and Vendor Contracts/Accounts.)
2. Correctly set up your library location addresses. (For more information, see Setting Up Your Library Location Addresses.)
3. Set up your base currency (or currency code). (For more information, see Setting Up Your Currency Code.)

In addition, you can set up EDIFACT uploading and processing for your consortium.
