Receiving and Creating Items

 The library now has the ability to choose which locations should get items when receiving partial shipments using streamlined “Receive and Create Items” mode.

1. In the “Receive” submode, select the Receive tab of the order to be received. By default all items will be highlighted but you can deselect item locations or copies. [Note: The copy numbers that appear are not true enumeration and will not appear in the item record.]

2. If a partial shipment has been received you can deselect lines to receive items for specific locations. In this example only three copies have been received. Items will be created only for the lines selected. 3. Click your cursor in the barcode box, and enter a barcode number for each line selected.

4. Then choose the Receive button and the appropriate item template (if necessary).

5. A step in the template will prompt you for location, however you can ignore it. The location field is always taken from the order record. Click on OK.

Click OK necessary

6. Once you have completed the item template, Millennium Acquisitions displays a report that shows the number of items created and their record numbers, locations, barcodes, and titles. 7. To close the "Add Items" report and proceed with the next record, select Close Record and Report. To close the report and return to the record, select Close Report. To print the report, choose Print Report.

 The full suite of Fiscal Close activities has been added to Millennium Acquisitions. We will provide documentation when each library prepares to complete its’ fiscal close.

Vendors

Instead, there will be a search/browse display where you can search by vendor code, vendor name, or keyword to retrieve the vendor. This functionality is now consistent with the record searching in other modes and Millennium applications.
