Acquisitions |
| Ordering & Workflow |
| C2 handles electronic
ordering and receipt and payment of items, desiderata or wish-list
purchasing and standing orders. This includes book and non-book materials,
donations and exchange materials. An audit trail is keptby item, order,
fund, buyer and financial period or user specified time frame.
The status of an order can be identified from the bibliographic record, or within the Acquisitions module, or by report. |
| Suppliers |
| The acquisitions module
includes a supplier file on-line that allows multiple contact points
within one supply organisation. Analysis reports can be created to provide
information and statistics on suppliers.
Suppliers can be assigned subject or material type specialites and can be given a preference rating, assisting in selecting the most appropriate vendor. |
| Currencies |
| C2 has a currency conversion table with the ability to store unlimited currency conversion figures. These figures are used to convert foreign prices to local prices, and to keep fund balances up to date as currency exchange rates alter. C2 maintains a history of all changes in the conversion rate for a particular currency. |
| Funds |
| The structure provides
control over budget expenditure and has the flexibility to allow fund
adjustments and transfers.
Fund control features include warning of near depletion, warning of expenditure outside the authorised limit, and blocking of expenditure from a fund when required. Payment for an order can be split across several currencies. |
| Claim Procedures |
| Claim procedures ensure that operator follow-up work requirements are kept to a minimum where orders are short supplied. |
