When new items come in, you need to receive them in Horizon. This lets you track the items you have received and prepare them for further processing. Depending on your settings, Horizon may prompt you to assign barcodes to the items. Horizon also alerts you of titles that have requests. After you receive the items, you should forward them to the appropriate department for further processing (for example, to cataloging).
If items come with the statement, you can receive the items at the same time you record the statement. (A statement is a summary of charges or credits for items you have ordered from a vendor.) This is the quickest method for receiving items and recording the invoice. However, if the items come before the statement, you can receive the items and wait to record the statement when it comes. (For more information, see Receiving Items.)
