    Configuring Acquisition Activities

    Translatable
    To configure acquisition activities, you must have the following role:
    • Acquisitions Administrator
    The infrastructure for the acquisition workflows involves configuration of Alma functionality with regards to POs, invoices, licenses, and other activities, and includes setting rules for the workflows for these processes.
    • The location filter on this page is disabled. Acquisitions configuration is at the institution level, not the library level.
    • Note that some configuration changes in Acquisitions impact other functional areas. Consider the impact on other functional areas before making changes to existing configurations.

    The following table lists the available configuration options.

    For a full reference of all the code tables provided with Alma, see Alma Code Table Reference.
