A: There are two sections to this form.
The first section is the cataloguing part of the Order form. Fields highlighted in red must be filled in. Fields shaded in grey need to be filled in if you are also receiving the item when making the order. Complete as many of the remaining fields as you desire to at this stage. They can be completed when you are cataloguing the item when it has been received.
The second section relates to the Accounting details. Enter the quantity you want to acquire, the supplier price and the budget. When you enter the supplier price, all other values are calculated, depending on government tax (VAT or GST) and supplier discount.
A: The sort fields are for statistical purposes. Entries in the fields appear in the Statistics Report page so can be useful for refining statistics. Sort1 and Sort2 may now be related to a list of Authorized Values. All you have to do is define a Asort1 or Asort2 category of authorised values and enter the desired values into these categories. You will then be able to use them through Add/Modify Biblio Page.
