Since the cancellation is triggered by a vendor notification, it is not necessary to mail a printed cancellation letter to the vendor. Consequently, printed cancellations resulting from vendor reports are discarded. If a cancellation needs to be sent to the vendor, leave a note in the "Stop Box" indicating:

• Purchase order number
• Vendor name
• Number of line items cancelled from Purchase order

The cancellation will be sent the following day by the designated staff member. Example: "SEND CANCELLATION: PO 132443 Harrass/e 2 line items".

• E-mail the ordering selector to alert him/her of the cancelled title
• Include PO number, title, and bibliographic record number for the publication in the e-mail.If the selector would like a copy of the item from the Out of Print (OP) market, modify PO information appropriately.
• If the selector does not want a copy from the OP market, discard the cancellation notification from the vendor.

Scope:  This document outlines the procedure that LTS Acquisitions staff follow when processing a cancellation for materials that were not supplied by the vendor or that the subject specialist requested we cancel.
