====== Expectations for Acquisitions ======

The Evergreen Acquisitions module **DOES**:

   * Allow you to keep track of your funds and purchased items with as much granularity as desired
  * Allow you to run reports on your spending and purchased items
  * Provide structure to your purchasing process
  * Have up-to-date information on fund balances, encumbered and spent funds
  * Provide second point of reconciliation with accounting software
  * Allow you to continue to use vendor websites while also utilizing Evergreen for fund tracking
  * Accomodate for both in-house and vendor supplied cataloging services
  * Provide accountability for purchases, receipt of materials, and fund management via permission levels and user actions tracking
  * Provide the option for using on-order holds for your patrons
  * Allow staff to see on-order items in the catalog, even if you choose not to do on-order holds for patrons

However, Acquisitions **DOES NOT**:

  * Communicate with your accounting system (e.g. Blackbaud)
  * Send payments to vendors
