As part of the acquisition workflow, it is important to receive orders as you get them from either a vendor or from LTS.
1. You will first need to make sure your Alma location is set to your Acquisitions Department. Click on the drop-down menu on the top right of the screen and select your location’s acquisition department.
2. Next, click on the Acquisitions tab and click on Receive under the Receiving and Invoicing section.
3. On the Receive New Material screen, make sure the Status is set to All (Except Closed), review the list and select items to receive. If necessary, you can Filter by owning library. If you need to send an item to LTS, click the Keep in Department option. When you are ready to receive, you can either click Receive in the More Actions button or select the checkbox next to the POL-number and then click Receive button at the top-right of the screen. You can also select more than one option in this method.
4. You will receive a Receiving process completed successfully message on the top right hand side of the screen.
5. You will next need to confirm that the PO Line is closed. You have a few options in locating the order.
Search via the PO Line number in the Order lines scope.
OR, search via the ISBN number in the Order lines scope.
6. When you locate the order in the results screen, make sure the PO line is in a Waiting for Invoice status. Next, click the three dots on the right hand side of the screen and click Close. Occasionally the POL number is already Closed. In such cases, just verify that it is closed and move to the next one.
