Using the Ordering Macro

General description

The ordering macro is invoked after a new bibliographic record is saved in Cataloging, or, alternatively, if you are ordering an added copy on an existing bibliographic record. It copies the bibliographic ID number to the clipboard, invokes the Acquisitions module, creates a purchase order header, and adds a line to the purchase order, using default values. It then stops so that you can be sure it worked correctly, add the price and any notes, and approve the order.

This macro is for use with single line purchase orders only.

Setup

Complex macros that open many windows and go through many steps are often dependent upon timing. To maximize the system memory available to the macro, be sure any unnecessary programs are closed down before you start. It is also a good idea instead of logging off when you leave at night, use the shut down/restart option. This frees up all available memory for you to start the next day.

Sort your orders by vendor and currency codes. Then, sort by location and fund. Every combination of the above fields requires that defaults be set. It is especially important that you check currency carefully. This macro automatically saves the purchase order header using default values, so you will not have an opportunity to change the prompted currency code.
