<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi Karen,</div><div><br></div><div>We are a consortium of about 80 libraries; 26 of them use acquisitions, and only 2 use EDI, so I may be able to answer your question.</div><div><br></div><div>Our non EDI libraries mainly use Baker & Taylor's Title Source or Ingram's iPage. <br></div><div><br></div><div>For Title Source, we asked them to subscribe to the MARC profile, and I set them up with the order tag we use (970) for the elements of an order: owning branch code, quantity ordered, a default call number of ON ORDER, default shelving location and circ modifier, list price and (optional) line item notes. We don't include funds so the library doesn't have to subscribe to grids for variant information.<br></div><div><br></div><div>We created a similar set up in Ipage for the grid settings to apply to their Ingram selection list.</div><div><br></div><div>In both cases, the library downloads the order cart/selection list from the vendor site with the 970 tag applied to the MARC records.</div><div><br></div><div>They upload the vendor file to Evergreen, creating the purchase order.</div><div><br></div><div>Our settings match records against existing bibs in our catalog (based on ISBN or UPC), or add new bibs if no match is found.<br></div><div><br></div><div>On the purchase order, they apply a fund to the line item items, then activate the PO. The "on order" items are added to the bibs in the catalog.</div><div><br></div><div>Some of our libraries create invoices later after receiving items; many do not bother. Many aren't really interested in fund tracking and only have funds set up because the system requires it for purchase orders <br></div><div><br></div><div>If they also order from other vendors supplying MARC records, I give them our 970 tag specs to give to the vendor so line items will be created in a load.</div><div><br></div><div>If the vendor can't accommodate the 970 tag, the MARC record file can still be loaded to create a PO, and staff will have to manually add line item items. This happens infrequently.</div><div><br></div><div>I hope this helps.</div><div><br></div><div>Mary</div><div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Aug 29, 2024 at 10:50 AM Karen Young via Evergreen-acq <<a href="mailto:evergreen-acq@list.evergreen-ils.org">evergreen-acq@list.evergreen-ils.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Hello -- My library belongs to a 9 library consortium that is in the process of joining the larger Missouri Evergreen Consortium. Our go-live date is in October and right now we're in the process of thinking through our acquisitions workflows. 7 of our 9 libraries use the acquisitions module in our current ILS (Polaris), but only one of those 7 libraries uses EDI ordering and invoicing. We'd love to hear from libraries who use the acquisitions module in Evergreen without EDI -- particularly, what do the steps in your invoicing workflow look like? <br><br>There aren't many libraries in Missouri Evergreen that make use of the ACQ module, so I'm hoping we can connect with some in the broader community.
