We've been using acquisitions (all of it except selection lists) for 2 years now and it works pretty well for us. It takes a little work to set up EDI but once you do, it works well.
I would like acquisitions to become more streamlined though. It takes far too many mouse clicks to accomplish some tasks. We place orders almost every day and could never manage it all with spreadsheets.

Our library uses Evergreen Acquisitions and electronic invoicing. We are having some trouble reconciling invoices but otherwise have worked through a lot of the struggles. Selectors really like being able to track their funds.

We've been struggling to get Evergreen Acquistions set up and working, and are gaining ground.
But it's time for us to evaluate the pro/con of even using an acquisition module, vs. using some other method.
I've got 3 questions for everyone...
1) Do you use Evergreen Acqisitions and if yes, do you use it all or only some portion of it.
2) If you do not use Evergreen Acquistions, do you use some other Acquistion software and if yes, what is it.
3) If you do not use any Acquisition software, what method do you use to keep track of funds/ encumbrances/ect.?
I'm posting this same question to the Cataloging group.

We use Evergreen Acquisitions. I'm not sure it's possible to use all of it,
there's a lot there. What we use is basic Fund management, POs, and
invoices so that selectors can track their budgets accurately over the
course of the year. We're not using EDI or MARC Order Records yet.
We treat everything the same, whether electronic or print. For electronic
resources (databases or journals), we have a regular MARC record with a $9
856 and add a copy that is not OPAC-visible to serve as the link between
the PO, the invoice, and the item in the catalogue.
I run a bit of SQL to populate publicly visible bookbags with the most
recent orders for each fund so that we can advertise our most recent orders
for a given subject easily.
At some point we'll mix in MARC Order Records, but we want to ensure the
manual process is solid before we automate more.
