Many libraries, especially
in developing countries, acquire materials
on-approval.
On-approval purchases are therefore fully supported.
The following processes are automated.
Library
staff initiates requests
to vendors for supply of
one or more items
for evaluation/approval.
Details
of items received are entered
and routed to approving
authorities
Approving
authorities return details
online or offline after
approval (or rejection).
Approved
items are moved to orders
file and then on to the
Request for invoice
process
since item in question is
already in possession of
the library.
