Subject: New format for Blackwell's Invoices
Hi there,
Have you all noticed a change in the invoices you receive from
Blackwell's for serial standing orders and monographic series? If
so, what do you think about the changes?
Some of the standing orders on the invoice don't list what no./vol.
is being paid for/what was shipped. In my department, my receiver
and my invoice person are separate people. So, when my invoice
person got the invoice after the items were received (the receiver
hadn't noticed the lack of information on the invoice) tried to
contact Blackwell to see what we were paying for, our rep was unable
to give her an answer. She didn't have the info anywhere in their
system. Also, the monographic series items are listed by the
monographic title only, not by the series name as it used to be. We
pay for monographic series titles under the series name. This will
create more work from my staff members for sure. My receiver will
have to do a lot more writing to fill in the information on the invoice.
What do you all think about the new invoices? Our Blackwell rep did
say that a survey was taken before they went to the new format. I
didn't hear from Blackwell. Did you?
