  7. Click Agree to generate the list. A report is generated in your browser window.

Submit the order via Vendor order list

If your library does not submit orders via EDI or if the vendor from which you are purchasing does not accept EDI orders, the Vendor order list can be printed or saved and sent via email or mail directly to the vendor.

Update the catalog

After the order is submitted, the catalog must be updated to add the ordered items.

  1. In the staff client, select Order request on the home screen, or go to Titles > Order requests. The Order request screen opens.
  2. On the Order files tab, click the order line for which you want to update the catalog.
  3. Go to Titles > Update catalog. The Transfer selection to catalog window opens.
  4. Select a Transfer option from the drop-down list.
    • 1 - Only ordered titles  - only the titles that do not already have T in the catalog status are updated
    • 2 - Ordered + Catalog titles (Recommended)
    • 3 - All titles
  5. Click Agree, or to delay the process, click Run tonight. The process runs.

To confirm that the process is complete, select the Titles/Order tab and select Options > Refresh. The Cat. column should update to T&E. The title and ordered items now appear in your catalog. The items appear with the status "Ordered".
