Requisitions/Adoptions

Requisitions

We know how difficult it is to obtain requisitions from faculty. We've tried to make that task as easy as possible by giving both the textbook buyer and faculty several methods of submitting their requisitions. These methods include:
  • Generate requisitions to faculty based on previous adoption history
  • Requisitions submitted online in ePOS are sent to Textbook Partner for conversion into adoptions by bookstore staff
  • Faculty receives email confirmation when they submit requisitions

Adoptions

Because adopting textbooks is a daily task, ease and efficiency as well as accuracy are extremely important in buying correctly. Our automated adoption software meets all those needs and more. Sequoia's Adoptions Module enables a user to:
  • Work on multiple terms concurrently
  • Handle special situations, such as seminars, short courses and continuing education
  • One-step option to copy adoptions from previous terms
  • Automatically searches current book file, wholesaler buying guides, or Books In Print when adopting a title
  • Ability to import course information from the registrar's office
  • Search by Author, Title, ISBN or Author-Title
  • Adoptions automatically export to ePOS as they are added or changed, making it very easy to post books online
  • User-specified format allows modification of Purchase Order templates to better suit an individual store's needs
  • Quickly generate reorders during rush using handheld wireless terminals (Palm POS+)
  • Allows for the transmission of adoptions from the web to the Textbook module
