Pulling Visa Purchase Orders for Receiving

  • All books that have been purchased using the campus visa will be placed on the receiving table. The table is located against the wall in the acquisitions area. For the most part, visa orders are those items not ordered from BNA or our foreign vendors.

    • On the table, each shipment of materials will be followed by its corresponding invoice. Please keep the items in order as it matches the order on the invoice.

  • The purchase orders that go with these items should be in the file cabinet drawer marked "Open Orders for Visa" (The file cabinet is to the left of the receiving table). Within this drawer, the orders are in manilla folders filed alphabetically by vendor.

    • It is important to note here that orders placed with Amazon and Barnes and Noble are filed alphabetically, but within the file you will locate the proper order by the last 4 digits of the order number.

  • When you find the file that matches your order, place the invoice (if there are not 2 copies of the invoice, make an additional copy) on top of the folder and the items on top of the invoice. If you cannot find a PO set the shipment by the sign that says "No Visa Folder Found".

  • When all the purchase orders have been pulled, leave the items on the table for invoicing.
