Creating orders and invoices from vendor-supplied MARC records requires a 980 field in each record with the following:

980 __ a) invoice date (YYMMDD)

           b) order price (00.00)

           e) net price (00.00, with shipping cost or discount factored in)

           f) invoice number

           g) quantity (1)

In the example below, the vendor has included a subfield ( b ) with the list price, and has factored the shipping cost into the subfield ( e ) net price. The shipping costs for this shipment were distributed across 24 records, adding $2.13 to each net price. The subfield ( e ) is used to populate the line items of the invoice. The subfield ( e ) must be in US currency format (two decimal places, ex. $45.00) in order to correctly populate the invoice.
