Orders can be created manually or you may choose to download bibliographic records containing order information from vendor sites.
In this section
Manual Orders
Orders can be created manually in WorkFlows if you opt not to download them from vendor sites or if you are using a vendor that cannot accommodate EDI ordering, such as with Amazon. Follow these instructions to create manual orders.
9xx/MARC Order Loading
Follow these step by step instructions to download brief bibliographic (bib) records from your vendors and load them into Symphony to create titles, call numbers, orders, and items.
EDI Ordering
Use EDI ordering to send orders from Symphony WorkFlows to your vendors FTP sites electronically.
Moving Orders
Orders can be transferred or moved from one title to another. This is useful when an order has attached to the wrong title.
Loading Bibs and Items Without Orders
Libraries that wish to load vendor bibliographic records, call numbers, and items without including order information may do so. Configuration on both the vendor side and the SWAN side is required.
