After creating a budget and a vendor’s profile, you may proceed with these steps:
Create baskets
- Go to Acquisitions
- Search for your vendor
- Click on “New basket”
- Give your basket a name
- Save your basket
- Click on “Add to basket” to order an item
- Search for an existing record or create it from scratch
- Click on “Order” next to the record
- Enter the financial information
- Click “Save”
- Repeat steps 6-10 for each item you need to order.
- Click on “Save”
Once it is completed, click on “Close this basket.”
You must close a
basket in order to update the budget automatically and add the order
amount to the “Base-level ordered” column of the
corresponding fund.
Closing the basket will also enable the “Receive shipment” option, so you can create an invoice and mark item as received.
