often used as placeholder records until items are received. Brief records can
be added to selection lists or purchase orders and can be imported into the
catalog. You can add brief records to new or existing selection lists. You can
add brief records to new, pending or on-order purchase orders.</simpara>

<simpara>You can cancel entire purchase orders, line items on the purchase orders, and individual copies
that are attached to a line item. You can also use cancel reasons to suspend purchase orders,
line items, and copies. For example, a cancel reason such as Delayed Publication, would
indicate that the item will be purchased when the item is published. The purchase is, in effect,
suspended rather than cancelled, but the state of the purchase order, line item, or copy would
still become cancelled.</simpara>
