Selecting, Ordering, and Receiving with YBP GOBI: Receivers: Receiving

This LibGuide covers everything you need to know about the selection, ordering, and receiving process of the new GOBI system.

Receiving and Completing Orders

Below are the recommended steps for receiving and paying for orders.

Receiving and Completing Orders

  1. After the librarian selects materials and you have placed the order, it will take 24 hours for your order to load into Alma. New orders are loaded at 8AM every day.
     
  2. After a few days, YBP will ship your order and will send you an email with the details, including tracking information. This will also generate an invoice in GOBI. It is possible that your order may be split into multiple shipments. Therefore, you may have multiple invoices for one order.
     
  3. Once an invoice has been generated, it will take 24 for the invoice to load into Alma, which will also update the item information and barcode, and put it "Waiting for Invoice" status if it has been received in Alma.
     
  4. Every time you receive a shipment, make sure to check the contents of the shipment with the packing slip and invoice to verify that all of the items are there. Additionally, you must mark each item as received and your campus copy cataloger must attach the item to the order record and invoice record, which will add the price to the item record. Finally, they change the status from "In Process" to "Available" and the book is ready to go on the shelf.
     
  5. Once all items in your order have been marked as received, you will need to review the Invoice in Alma and mark it as paid. After the order has been marked as paid and a check number, paid date, and amount have been added, the order process will be completed!
