* for owners of FIZ AutoDoc loginIDs

ad 1. Optimized user interaction:

• The switch-over from ordering to other functions is done directly via the menu. Therefore, the "Back" button becomes obsolete and the interaction is significantly facilitated.
• When placing an order, the current delivery address is displayed for verification, as well as the last three orders.
  
• An additional search option "Personal Lookup" within the history facilitates access to previous orders.
• New, precise status and error messages facilitate the ordering process.
• Framesets are no longer used, which results in an improved compatibility with current web browsers. The browser function for saving cookies has to be activated.
  

ad 2. Additional ordering masks for patent documents and other literature

• Orders placed via the new "Patents" ordering mask are automatically processed for EP, DE, WO and US and delivered within a few minutes. All other patent documents can be ordered as before, via the "Manual Order" option.
• Documents ordered via the new ordering mask "Others" (conference papers, grey literature, articles from books, books) can be procured by our full-text service on your behalf.

ad 3. Links to eJournals no longer generated (except for FIZ AutoDoc PREMIUM customers)

• Within FIZ AutoDoc PREMIUM package the list of subscribed eJournals can be uploaded. This is the only way of creating appropriate links to the respective eJournal articles. Therefore, users of the STANDARD and PLUS versions of FIZ AutoDoc can no longer create eJournal links!

ad 4. Purchase of original document via Download directly from the publisher (pay-per-view)

• A new pay-per-view option for articles from selected publishers is available for all customers. If the ordered document is electronically available on the server of one of the partnering publishing houses for immediate download, the corresponding link is generated. This link might be used to to access and purchase the original document directly from the publisher. The cost for the fulltext document will still be added to your monthly invoice.
• This future-proof delivery option will be continuously enhanced.

ad 5. New order number format

• The FIZ AutoDoc order numbers, e.g. FIZ-DD-123.456, will be given a new format, e.g. FIZ-K-2012345.
• Please keep this in mind when using this number for further processing.

zu 6. Switch-over of customer administration and billing system to SAP R/3

• Therefore, all customer data have been transferred into SAP R/3. The distinction between end users, super users and administrators remains unchanged.
• End user data was revised, i.e. the data of end users who have been inactive for more than 12 months was not automatically transferred.
• To be properly processed by SAP R/3, the structure of your organization (including the legal structure) has to be more closely defined. This is particularly important for the correct calculation of the VAT according to national and international legislation.
• With the switch-over to SAP R/3 the format of both the invoice and its attachment listing the orders in detail will change.
• SAP R/3 offers new billing possibilities (separate handling of user/super user/administrator and invoice recipient; collective invoices etc.) Please contact us if you are interested in any such option.
