Search for line items from an invoice
You can open an invoice, search for line items from
the invoice, and add your search results to a new or existing invoice. This
feature is especially useful when you want to populate an invoice with line
items from multiple purchase orders.
In this example, we’ll add line items to a new invoice:
-
Click Acquisitions → Create Invoice.
-
An invoice summary appears at the top of the invoice and includes the number
of line items on the invoice and the expected cost of the items. This number
will change as we add line items to the invoice.
Enter the invoice details (optional). If you do not enter the invoice
details, then Evergreen will populate the Provider and Receiver fields with
information from the line items.
Note
If you do not want to display the details, click Hide Details.
-
Click the Search tab to add line items to an invoice.
-
Select your search criteria from the drop-down menu.
-
On the right side of the screen, Limit to Invoiceable Items is checked by
default. Invoiceable items are those that are on order, have not been
cancelled, and have not yet been invoiced. Evergreen also filters out items
that have already been added to an invoice. Finally, if this box is checked,
and if your entered the invoice details at the top of the screen, then Evergreen
will filter your search for items that have the same provider as the one that
you entered. If you have not entered the invoice details, then Evergreen
removes this limit.
-
Sort by title (optional). By default, results are listed by line item
number. Check this box to sort by ascending title.
-
Building the results list progressively (optional). By default, new search
results will replace previous results on the screen. Check this box for the
search results list to build with each subsequent search. This option is useful
for libraries that might search for line items by scanning an ISBN. Several
ISBNs can be scanned and then the entire result set can be selected and moved
to the invoice in a batch.
Click Search.
Use the Next button to page through results, or select a line item(s), and
click Add Selected Items to Invoice.
.The rows that you selected are highlighted, and the invoice summary at the
top of the screen updates.
-
Click the Invoice tab to see the updated invoice.
-
Evergreen automatically enters the number of items that was ordered in the
# Invoiced and # Paid fields. Adjust these quantities as needed.
-
Enter the amount that the organization was billed. This entry will
automatically propagate to the Paid field. The Per Copy field calculates the
cost of each copy by dividing the amount that was billed by the number of
copies for which the library paid.
