Horizon lets you search online vendors and local catalogs for titles by ISBN as you add a PO line to a purchase order. If the item is available on the vendor’s web site, the vendor sends back the item’s pricing and bibliographic information which you can then copy to the PO line. If the title is already in your local catalog, Horizon displays the title’s bibliographic information. If you want to order additional copies, you can then copy the bibliographic information to a PO line. Horizon does both the online and local searches simultaneously. Your system administrator must set this up.
Your vendor determines what bibliographic information is sent back to Horizon.
To search for a title by ISBN
1 | Open or create the PO you want to add a line to. |
2 | Click New in the PO window to display the Edit PO Line window: |
3 | Enter the item’s ISBN number in the ISBN field. |
4 | Click ISBN Search. |
Horizon searches the vendor and local catalog for the title and displays the ISBN search window:
5 | If you want to copy the bibliographic information for the title to the current purchase order, click Order. |
Horizon copies the information into the PO line that you are creating.
If you are adding an ISBN that already exists in the catalog, but is not linked to the PO line, then having ISBN or ISSN duplication checking turned on will cause an error message to display when you save the PO line. Depending on your security privileges, you can override the error message.
Note: If the PO line is linked to an existing catalog record, the system does not check for duplication. Duplication checking occurs if the PO line (when complete) results in the creation of a new catalog record.
6 | Complete the PO line as necessary. |
7 | Save the file. |
