Library Subscription Invoicing

Individual Libraries

Individual libraries invoiced directly via punctum books are invoiced under item code 9902. Make sure to add the period of the subscription (available on the Trello card), and if it's a multi-year contract, which year. Add a PO number if applicable.

For invoices in non-USD dollars (AUD, CAD, etc.) specify the currency clearly in the description, because the invoice itself only contains an ambiguous $ sign.
