<br>
Yes, acquisitions would make sense for you even though you don't  <br>
select centrally.<br>
<br>
Based on what you described you'd want to do ordering via EDI for  <br>
Midwest and B&T.<br>
<br>
The change in your workflow would actually come after your selectors  <br>
are done.  Once you have your cart on your vendor website you would  <br>
download the bib records but not place the actual order through the  <br>
vendor website.  Next you'd upload the bib records into Evergreen to  <br>
create your purchase order which you would then send to the vendor  <br>
through Evergreen via EDI. Once the PO is created you can go back into  <br>
the vendor website and delete the cart.<br>
<br>
We've created a detailed workflow for our libraries that you can see  <br>
here -  <br>
<a href="http://docs.libraries.coop/acquisitions/_recommended_workflows.html#_workflow_upload_marc_records" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://docs.libraries.coop/acquisitions/_recommended_workflows.html#_workflow_upload_marc_records</a> (Most of our libraries have some EDI vendors and some non-EDI vendors they order from so their workflow changes depending on which vendor they're working  <br>
with.)<br>
<br>
You can set up Evergreen to load item information your vendor includes  <br>
in the bib records such as library, price, quantity, fund, shelving  <br>
location, circulation modifier, etc. which speeds up the ordering  <br>
process as staff just need to check the information rather than enter  <br>
it manually.  <br>

Hope that helps.  Let me know if you have further questions,<br>
