Pre-Receiving Preparation

The books are retrieved from the shipping room and staff unpack the boxes and check the books against the invoices for accuracy; they put them in the order they are listed on the invoice and shelve them in their designated area for processing.

RMC exception: Books ordered by RMC are sent directly there, where the Technical Services Specialist unpacks them.






Start by opening the Receiving App

Search the title of the book in hand by using the Search & filter option on the left pane of FOLIO. You can search many different ways by clicking on the arrow. In most cases if you have the PO or POL number you can enter it under Keyword and it will come up.

Searching PO 12163 you get the results to the right:

Keep in mind that your search does truncate and you may have titles show up that belong to other purchase order numbers.

Click on the title you have in hand to receive and that will then take you to the Receiving record for that title which will show up in the far right pane.
