Hi Tiffany,

I agree with Mary, I think it's a good representation of the general  
steps and definitely include the legend for the colour coding.

I don't think selection lists need to be included since the feedback  
we've gotten through the AIG is that they're rarely used.

The only question I have is around Receiving/Invoicing.  The workflow  
that we recommend to our libraries is to receive via the invoice so  
they're checking the invoice and receiving the items together.  Not  
sure if it would make sense to show that those two pieces often go  
together?
