Alma Acquisitions training guide.

Orders for Content with no Inventory

Acquisitions may be used to record a payment for something that will not be added to the collection, like copyright fees, licenses, databases with no Alma access, etc.

The process is largely a matter of local policy, determined by how you want to report funds and track payments.

Payment arrangements may include:

  • Creating one allocated fund code for all such purchases
  • Allowing purchases out of multiple funds codes, but using a reporting code attached to each POL to easily retrieve costs in Analytics
  • A separate Ledger may be created with one fund.

When the POL is started, use a Purchase Order Line Types that does not create inventory.
