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.
