Add Copies to a Line Item

By default, line items have no copies attached to them. If a default number of copies as been specified for the provider, when line items are added to a purchase order copies are automatically added. Use the Batch Updater or Copies link to add copy information to a line item. You can add copies to line items on a selection list or a pending purchase order.

Add a Copy via the Line Item Batch Updater on a selection list or purchase order.

  1. Open a selection list or purchase order.
  2. Enter the total number of copies for the line item in the Copies field on the Line Item Batch Updater.
  3. The number entered in the Copies field is always the total number of copies for the line item, not the number of copies to add to the selected line item(s).
  4. Check the box(es) beside the line item(s) you wish to apply the copies to.
  5. Click Apply to Selected.
  6. The zero of the Copies link will update to reflect the number of copies created for the line item.

Add a Copy via the Copies Screen on a selection list or purchase order.

  1. Open a selection list or purchase order.
  2. Click the Copies (0) link on the line item you would like to add copies to. This will take you to the Copies screen.
  3. Enter the number of copies you would like to order into Item Count and click Go. A line will be created for each copy.
  4. The gray box is a batch update function. Each field in this box corresponds to the columns below.

      1. Owning Branch
      2. Copy Location
      3. Collection Code
      4. Fund
      5. Circ Modifier
      6. Call Number
    2. Enter your terms and click Batch Update. The copies will update to reflect your choices.
