Creating Purchase Orders

Once titles have been approved, you can add them to a purchase order. The purchase order consists of a header and one or more lines. The header contains information that applies to all the titles on the purchase order, such as the vendor. The lines represent the individual titles included on the purchase order.

The header lets you enter various settings that control the acquisitions activity for the lines. (For example, you can specify whether orders are “drop shipped,” when funds are expended, and whether copy or item records are created.) The lines let you enter distribution information for the title, including locations, quantities, and billing and shipping addresses. The line also specifies the budget or budgets to charge for the items. (For more information, see About Purchase Orders.)

You create a purchase order by creating the header and adding lines for the titles you want to include. You can create PO lines from scratch, or you can create them by copying existing PO lines, purchase requests, or titles in PAC. (For more information, see Creating Purchase Orders.) Horizon provides several options for searching and reviewing existing orders. (For more information, see Searching, Reviewing, and Editing Purchase Orders.)
