- <h1>Acquisitions Help</h1><h2>What is Acquisitions? </h2>
-
-<p>The Koha Acquisitions module provides a way where the library can record orders placed with vendors and manage purchase budgets.</p><p>You do not need to use Acquisitions to add items to your catalogue. If you do not want to track orders and budget expenditure, then use the <strong>"Add MARC" </strong>feature in <strong>Cataloging </strong>to add new bibliographic and item records.</p>
-
-<h2>How to place an order? </h2>
-
-<p>To place an order, the first step is to locate your Vendor (supplier). If no Vendor exists, you will need to create one. Once you have a Vendor you can place an order.</p>
-
-<h2>How to receive an order?</h2>
-
-<p>There are two ways to receive an order:</p><ol><li><strong>By Supplier (Supplier Search) - </strong>search for the vendor and view all order associated with the item. </li><li><strong>By Order (Orders Search) -</strong> enter the title of the ordered Item in the orders search and locate the item.</li></ol><h2>What needs to be setup to use Acquisitions?</h2>
-
-<p>To make the most of acquisitions the following needs to be setup under <strong>System Administration</strong></p>
-<ul>
- <li><strong>Budgets and Funds</strong> - "Funds" are used to group "Budgets". For example a Fund may be called "General Stack", and will have a "Budget" which records the amount availalbe to spend during the period of the budget. A budget must have a start and end date. </li>
- <li><strong>Exchange Rates (optional)- </strong>If making purchases in overseas currency, the exchange rate will need to be set realtive to your local currency. Remember that your local currency should be set to 1.00<br /><strong>NOTE: Exchanges Rates need to be updated manually. <br /></strong></li>
- <li><strong>Vendor(s) - </strong>These are the entities where items are purchased, or donated from. Orders are placed with Vendors.</li>
-</ul>
-<h2>How do you handle donated items? </h2>In Koha, doners are simply vendors who do not charge anything for items. You can either setup a catchall vendor account for all donations, or setup a new vendor account for each doner. When items are "ordered" from a vendor, simply enter 0 in the purchase price. If you wish to, you can record the actual value of the item in the "Replacement Cost" field.
