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
However, Acquisitions DOES NOT:
- Communicate with your accounting system (e.g. Blackbaud)
- Send payments to vendors
- Currently allow patrons to place holds on on-order items (See: Policies)
