Acquisitions Administration
---------------------------

Acquisitions Settings
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

indexterm:[acquisitions,permissions]

Several setting in the Library Settings area of the Admin module pertain to
functions in the Acquisitions module. You can access these settings by clicking
_Admin -> Local Administration -> Library Settings Editor_.

* CAT: Delete bib if all copies are deleted via Acquisitions lineitem
cancellation - If you cancel a line item, then all of the on order copies in the
catalog are deleted. If, when you cancel a line item, you also want to delete
the bib record, then set this setting to TRUE.
* Allow funds to be rolled over without bringing the money along - enables you
to move a fund's encumbrances from one year to the next without moving unspent
money. Unused money is not added to the next year's fund and is not available
for use.
* Allows patrons to create automatic holds from purchase requests.
* Default circulation modifier - This modifier would be applied to items that
are created in the acquisitions module
* Default copy location - This copy location would be applied to items that are
created in the acquisitions module
* Fund Spending Limit for Block - When the amount remaining in the fund,
including spent money and encumbrances, goes below this percentage, attempts to
spend from the fund will be blocked.
* Fund Spending Limit for Warning - When the amount remaining in the fund,
including spent money and encumbrances, goes below this percentage, attempts to
spend from the fund will result in a warning to the staff.
* Rollover Distribution Formulae Funds - When set to true, during fiscal
rollover, all distribution formulae will update to use new funds.
* Set copy creator as receiver - When receiving a copy in acquisitions, set the
copy "creator" to be the staff that received the copy
* Temporary barcode prefix - Temporary barcode prefix for items that are created
in the acquisitions module
* Temporary call number prefix - Temporary call number prefix for items that are
created in the acquisitions module

Cancel/Suspend reasons
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

indexterm:[acquisitions,purchase order,cancellation]
indexterm:[acquisitions,line item,cancellation]

The Cancel reasons link enables you to predefine the reasons for which a line
item or a PO can be cancelled. A default list of reasons appears, but you can
add custom reasons to this list. Applying the cancel reason will prevent the
item from appearing in a claims list and will allow you to cancel debits
associated with the purchase. Cancel reasons also enable you to suspend or delay
a purchase. For example, you could create a cancel reason of 'back ordered,' and
you could choose to keep the debits associated with the purchase.

Create a cancel/suspend reason
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

. To add a new cancel reason, click _Administration -> Server Administration ->
Acquisitions -> Cancel reasons_.

Electronic Data Interchange
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
indexterm:[acquisitions,EDI,accounts]
indexterm:[EDI,accounts]

Many libraries use Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) accounts to send purchase orders and receive invoices
 from providers electronically.  In Evergreen users can setup EDI accounts and manage EDI messages in 
 the admin module.  EDI messages and notes can be viewed in the acquisitions module. See
also the <<_setting_up_edi_acquisitions,EDI Installation Instructions>>
because this is required for use of EDI.

Entering SANs (Standard Address Numbers)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

For EDI to work your library must have a SAN and each of your providers must each supply you with their SAN.

A SAN (Standard Address Number) is a unique 7 digit number that identifies your library.  

Entering a Library's SAN
++++++++++++++++++++++++

These steps only need to be done once per library.

. In Evergreen select _Admin_ -> _Server Administration_ -> _Organizational Units_ 
. Find your library in the tree on the left side of the page and click on it to open the settings.
+
[NOTE]
Multi-branch library systems will see an entry for each branch but should select their system's
top organization unit.
+
. Click on the _Address_ tab.
. Click on the _Mailing Address_ tab.
. Enter your library's SAN in the field labeled _SAN_.
. Click _Save_.

EDI messages
^^^^^^^^^^^^

indexterm:[EDI,messages]
indexterm:[acquisitions,EDI,messages]


The EDI messages screen displays all incoming and outgoing messages between the 
library and the vendor.

Exchange Rates
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

indexterm:[acquisitions,exchange rates]

Exchange rates define the rate of exchange between currencies. Evergreen will
automatically calculate exchange rates for purchases. Evergreen assumes that the
currency of the purchasing fund is identical to the currency of the provider, 
but it provides for two unique situations: If the currency of the fund that is 
used for the purchase is different from the currency of the provider as listed 
in the provider profile, then Evergreen will use the exchange rate to calculate
the price of the item in the currency of the fund and debit the fund 
accordingly. When money is transferred between funds that use different
currency types, Evergreen will automatically use the exchange rate to convert
the money to the currency of the receiving fund. During such transfers, 
however, staff can override the automatic conversion by providing an explicit
amount to credit to the receiving fund.

Create an exchange rate
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

. To create a new exchange rate, click _Admin -> Server Administration -> 
Acquisitions -> Exchange Rates_.

. Click New Exchange Rate.

. Enter the From Currency from the drop-down menu populated by the currency
types.

Fund Tags
~~~~~~~~~

indexterm:[acquisitions,funds,tags]

You can apply tags to funds so that you can group funds for easy reporting. For
example, you have three funds for children's materials: Children's Board Books,
Children's DVDs, and Children's CDs. Assign a fund tag of 'children's' to each
fund. When you need to report on the amount that has been spent on all 
children's materials, you can run a report on the fund tag to find total
 expenditures on children's materials rather than reporting on each individual
fund.

Create a Fund Tag

. To create a fund tag, click _Admin -> Server Administration -> Acquisitions ->
Fund Tags_.
. Click _New Fund Tag_. No limits exist on the number of characters that can be
entered in this field.

at the branches within the system could also use the funding source.
+
. Create a code for the source. No limits exist on the number of characters that
 can be entered in this field.
. Select a currency from the drop-down menu. This menu is populated from the
choices in the Currency Types interface.
. Click _Save_.

Allocate credits to funding sources
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

. Apply a credit to this funding source.

. Enter the amount of money that the funding source contributes to the
organization. Funding sources are not tied to fiscal or calendar years, so you
can continue to add money to the same funding source over multiple years, e.g.
County Funding. Alternatively, you can name funding sources by year, e.g. County
Funding 2010 and County Funding 2011, and apply credits each year to the 
matching source.

. To apply a credit, click on the hyperlinked name of the funding source. The
Funding Source Details will appear.

. Click _Apply Credit_.

Funds
~~~~~

indexterm:[acquisitions,funds]

Funds allow you to allocate credits toward specific purchases. In the funds
interface, you can create funds; allocate credits from funding sources to funds;
 transfer money between funds; and apply fund tags to funds. Funds are created
 for a specific year, either fiscal or calendar. These funds are owned by org
 units. At the top of the funds interface, you can set a contextual org unit and
 year. The drop-down menu at the top of the screen enables you to focus on funds
 that are owned by specific organizational units during specific years.

Create a fund
^^^^^^^^^^^^^

. To create a new fund, click _Admin -> Server Administration -> Acquisitions ->
 Funds_.

organizational units whose staff can use this fund. This menu is populated with
the shortnames that you created for your libraries in the organizational units
tree (See Admin -> Server Administration -> Organizational Units).
+
[NOTE]
The rule of parental inheritance applies to this list. See section
+
. Select a currency type from the drop-down menu. This menu is comprised of
entries in the currency types menu. When a fund is applied to a line item or
copy, the price of the item will be encumbered in the currency associated with
the fund.
. Click the Active box to activate this fund. You cannot make purchases from 
this fund if it is not active.
. Enter a Balance Stop Percent. The balance stop percent prevents you from 
making purchases when only a specified amount of the fund remains. For example,
if you want to spend 95 percent of your funds, leaving a five percent balance in
 the fund, then you would enter 95 in the field. When the fund reaches its
 balance stop percent, it will appear in red when you apply funds to copies.
. Enter a Balance Warning Percent. The balance warning percent gives you a 
warning that the fund is low. You can specify any percent. For example, if you
want to spend 90 percent of your funds and be warned when the fund has only 10
percent of its balance remaining, then enter 90 in the field. When the fund
reaches its balance warning percent, it will appear in yellow when you apply
funds to copies.
. Check the Propagate box to propagate funds. When you propagate a fund, the ILS
will create a new fund for the following fiscal year with the same parameters
as your current fund. All of the settings transfer except for the year and the
amount of money in the fund. Propagation occurs during the fiscal year close-out
operation.
. Check the Rollover box if you want to roll over remaining funds into the same
fund next year. You should also check this box if you only want to roll over

Providers are vendors. You can create a provider profile that includes contact
information for the provider, holdings information, invoices, and other
information.

Create a provider
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

. To create a new provider, click _Admin_ -> _Server Administration_ -> 
_Acquisitions_ -> _Providers_.

. Enter the provider name.

. Create a code for the provider. No limits exist on the number of characters
that can be entered in this field.

. Select an owner from the drop-down menu. The owner indicates the
organizational units whose staff can use this provider. This menu is populated
with the shortnames that you created for your libraries in the organizational
units tree (See Admin -> Server Administration -> Organizational Units).
+
[NOTE]
The rule of parental inheritance applies to this list.
+
. Select a currency from the drop-down menu. This drop-down list is populated by
the list of currencies available in the currency types.

. A provider must be active in order for purchases to be made from that
provider. To activate the provider, check the box adjacent to Active. To
deactivate a vendor, uncheck the box.

. Add the default # of copies that are typically ordered through the provider.
This number will automatically populate the line item's _Copies_ box on any PO's
associated with this provider. If another quantity is entered during the
selection or ordering process, it will override this default. If no number is
specified, the default number of copies will be zero.

. Select a default claim policy from the drop-down box. This list is derived
from the claim policies that can be created

. Select an EDI default. This list is derived from the EDI accounts that can be
created.

. Enter the provider's email address.

. In the Fax Phone field, enter the provider's fax number.

. In the holdings tag field, enter the tag in which the provider places holdings
data.

. In the phone field, enter the provider's phone number.

. If prepayment is required to purchase from this provider, then check the box
adjacent to prepayment required.

. Enter the Standard Address Number (SAN) for your provider.

. Enter the web address for the provider's website in the URL field.

. Click Save.

Add contact and holdings information to providers
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

After you save the provider profile, the screen reloads so that you can save
additional information about the provider. You can also access this screen by
clicking the hyperlinked name of the provider on the Providers screen. The tabs
allow you to add a provider address and contact, attribute definitions, and
holding subfields. You can also view invoices associated with the provider.

. Enter a Provider Address, and click Save.
+
[NOTE]
Required fields for the provider address are: Street 1, city, state, country,
post code. You may have multiple valid addresses.
+
. Enter the Provider Contact, and click Save.

. Your vendor may include information that is specific to your organization in
MARC tags. You can specify the types of information that should be entered in
each MARC tag. Enter attribute definitions to correlate MARC tags with the
information that they should contain in incoming vendor records. Some technical
knowledge is required to enter XPath information. As an example, if you need to
import the PO Name, you could set up an attribute definition by adding an XPath
similar to:
+
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
code => purchase_order
xpath => //*[@tag="962"]/*[@code="p"]
Is Identifier => false
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
where 962 is the holdings tag and p is the subfield that contains the PO Name.


. You may have entered a holdings tag when you created the provider profile. You
can also enter holdings subfields. Holdings subfields allow you to
specify subfields within the holdings tag to which your vendor adds holdings
information, such as quantity ordered, fund, and estimated price.

. Click invoices to access invoices associated with a provider.

Edit a provider
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Edit a provider just as you would edit a currency type.

You can delete providers only if no purchase orders have been assigned to them.
