Chapter 4 Setting up Acquisitions

The Acquisitions setup tasks you need to perform are relatively easy. Because the

Acquisitions feature allows you to create book orders and track orders and

funding sources, it is helpful if you have all information pertinent to particular

vendors and funding sources. This information includes names, addresses, phone

numbers, Tax ID numbers, and allocated funding source amounts.

Setting up a list of vendors and funding sources in Acquisitions allows you to

create new orders, accurately track existing orders, and maintain all pertinent

acquisitions information in one place. Once set up, Acquisitions is available from

the menu of your Cataloging module.

Adding vendors

The first tab in Acquisitions setup is the Vendors tab. Here you establish and

maintain a list of vendors. By default, your Circulation Plus/Catalog Plus

modules come with Follett Library Resources listed as a vendor.

Note:

If you are upgrading, existing vendors defined in your copy records are

not automatically added.
