<h1>Placing an Order Help</h1>
|
|
|
|
<h2>What is a Basket and Order?</h2>
|
|
<p>A Basket is used to group a set of order lines. An order is placed for an individual item.</p>
|
|
<p>An Order can have multiple copies/units placed against it. A Basket can have multiple Orders.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>How do I add Items to an Order?</h2>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li><strong>From an existing record -</strong> Use the search to locate the bibliographic record of the item that you wish to order more copies of.</li>
|
|
<li><strong>From A Suggestion - </strong>view suggestions placed by Patrons and add to the item to the basket.</li>
|
|
<li><strong>From a new (empty) record - </strong>If you know that the item is not in the library already, then create a new record from scratch.</li>
|
|
</ol>
|

<h3>TIP: Always check your Catalog first </h3>
|
|
<p>It is highly advisable that you get in the habit of checking the catalog first before placing an order for a new item. This saves unnecessary duplicate bibliographic records in your database and any need to merge/deduplicate records.</p>

<h2>Do I have to "Close" a Basket?</h2>
|
|
<p>No, this is not necessary, you will still be able to mark items received without closing a basket. Closing a basket is good practice for keeping track of late orders which is discussed in this manual.</p>[% INCLUDE 'help-bottom.inc' %] |
