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.

Open a selection list or purchase order.
 - 
Enter the total number of copies for the line item in the Copies field on the Line Item Batch Updater.
 - 
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).

Check the box(es) beside the line item(s) you wish to apply the copies to.
