				<title>FY16 Appropriations</title>
				<link>http://engagedpatrons.org/Blogs.cfm?SiteID=2391&amp;BlogID=137&amp;BlogPostID=14729</link>
				<description><![CDATA[The FY16 funds have been appropriated and are ready to go.&nbsp; Until the bug is fixed you won&#39;t have to worry about assigning the funds to your line items, I just wanted to let you know that the appropriations have been completed.<br />  <br />  Thanks everyone, for remembering to add a fund note to your line items. With your help the workaround is working but it does slow down the purchase order process for Mary.&nbsp; Consequently, Mary will be breaking down orders into smaller chunks.<br />  <br />  &nbsp; <P>]]></description>

				<title>Acquisitions Bug</title>
				<link>http://engagedpatrons.org/Blogs.cfm?SiteID=2391&amp;BlogID=137&amp;BlogPostID=14723</link>
				<description><![CDATA[A bug in the upgraded acquisitions module has been identified.&nbsp; When you are adding copies to the line items in your selection list, you won&#39;t be able to select a fund.&nbsp; The funds are not in the drop down menu and manually entering the fund code won&#39;t work either.&nbsp; You can select a fund on the batch menu line but when you try to apply that choice to the copies nothing shows in the fund box.<br />  <br />  So, as a workaround, until they release a fix for this bug, please add a note in each line item with the fund code you want to apply for that linen item.&nbsp; The image shows a note I added to a line item in my selection list. &nbsp;<br />  <br />  When Mary creates the purchase order, she will apply the fund you have specified in the note.&nbsp;  <ul>  	<li>Please add a fund note for every line item you are making order ready.</li>  	<li>Please just enter the fund code.</li>  	<li>Please add it as a note not an alert.</li>  </ul>   <P>

				<title>Uploading Lists --Great News!</title>
				<link>http://engagedpatrons.org/Blogs.cfm?SiteID=2391&amp;BlogID=137&amp;BlogPostID=14002</link>
				<description><![CDATA[There is a way to upload MARC order records without loading the bibs in the catalog!<br />  This will make a big difference to those selectors who were concerned about loading records too far in advance.&nbsp; You can now bring in records as early as you want.<br />  The only change is that you will not check the option to import non-matching records.<br />  <br />  I&#39;ll put an updated page of the instructions in your mail boxes. &nbsp;<br />  <br />  Let me know if you have any questions.&nbsp;<br />  &nbsp; <P>

				<title>Selection Lists in Load MARC Order Records</title>
				<link>http://engagedpatrons.org/Blogs.cfm?SiteID=2391&amp;BlogID=137&amp;BlogPostID=13977</link>
				<description><![CDATA[I opened a call with Equinox to see if the limited selection list options was a bug or a limitation in the software.&nbsp; While it is the way the software is written,&nbsp;the developers &nbsp;changed our code to allow up to 100 selection list names&nbsp;to appear in the&nbsp;drop down menu when you&nbsp;are&nbsp;uploading&nbsp;your order bibs to a selection list.&nbsp;&nbsp; They will be committing&nbsp;a long term&nbsp;fix to a future release of Evergreen.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; <P>]]></description>

				<title>Provider List</title>
				<link>http://engagedpatrons.org/Blogs.cfm?SiteID=2391&amp;BlogID=137&amp;BlogPostID=9368</link>
				<description><![CDATA[I&#39;ve created a provider list that may be helpful for selectors and Janice to consult when ordering and paying invoices.&nbsp; The file is in Apps\Evergreen\Acquisitions. (I renamed the file Evergreen help docs to just Evergreen &amp; moved the OPAC help docs into a OPAC help docs folder).<br />  <br />  When you open the file, notice there are two worksheet names at the bottom of the spreadsheet.&nbsp;&nbsp; One worksheet is sorted by provider code the other is sorted by provider name.&nbsp; This file will be updated as we add provider records.&nbsp; I will try to remember to post here when I do update it so that those who chose to print the file will know that their copy is out ot date.<br />  <br />  <br />   <P>]]></description>

				<title>Deleting Selection Lists</title>
				<link>http://engagedpatrons.org/Blogs.cfm?SiteID=2391&amp;BlogID=137&amp;BlogPostID=9204</link>
				<description><![CDATA[<br />  As Joanne mentioned a few days ago, it&#39;s way too easy to delete a selection list.<br />  I did some research and the documentation states that you cannot delete a selection list if it has line items.&nbsp; Clearly, this is wrong; you most definitely can delete a selection list with line items.<br />  <br />  I checked with Equinox, their reply:&nbsp; &quot;Regarding the deletion of lists, I believe you have provided an excellent suggestion that should be included as an enhancement request to the Evergreen Development team. I will find out whether there is a setting for this already, but I did not recall seeing such a failsafe.&quot;<br />  <br />  So, in lieu of this failsafe, I&#39;ve written a report that will allow us to &quot;backup&quot; our selection lists.&nbsp; The output of the report is a little rough and will take some maniuplating in Excel to get it into a form that you can use to repopulate a selection list.&nbsp; However, it should, if run regularly, provide you with some sense of security that the information can be retrieved should the worst happen.&nbsp;<br />  <br />  The report, when it&#39;s ready will be shared in the Shared Folders/Templates/techservices4/Acquisitions folder.&nbsp; You should plan to run it whenever you&#39;ve added items to your selection list. We can do a reports refresher training session to cover this if you would like.<br />  <br />   <P>]]></description>

				<title>Selection Lists for non-Ingram orders</title>
				<link>http://engagedpatrons.org/Blogs.cfm?SiteID=2391&amp;BlogID=137&amp;BlogPostID=9134</link>
				<description><![CDATA[For orders for items from vendors other than Ingram, please create additional selection lists by vendor.&nbsp; For example, if Denise wants to order DVDs from Library Video Company,  she should create a selection list DR libraryvideoco.&nbsp; This will help us keep the vendor separated when creating purchase orders.<br />   <P>]]></description>
