 +When you activate a purchase order, you are accomplishing several different things:
 +  * Debits are created in your funds, so your money is now encumbered
 +  * If your provider is an EDI vendor, the order is queued up and subsequently sent to the vendor
 +  * Temporary Acquisitions barcodes are created
  
-===== Activate purchase order =====+Before you can activate an order, Acquisitions does several checks automatically, but some you need to do on your own.  
 + 
 +**Acquisitions will automatically:**\\ 
 +  * Check that each copy has a fund assigned 
 +  * Check that each copy has a branch assigned 
 +  * Check if encumbering your order would overencumber your assigned funds past your warning or stop limits 
 +  * Check if each title has a quantity 
 +  * Check if each title has a price 
 + 
 +<note>Although Acquisitions looks for these, if it finds any issues you will need to resolve them by adding the missing information.</note> 
 + 
 +**Checks that you need to do:**\\ 
 +  * Check that no line items have "link to catalog"
 + 
 +<note tip>Instead of looking line by line for "link to catalog", do a CTRL+F on your keyboard and search for "link". If there are any instances in the page of the word "link", they will be highlighted.</note>
