    Checking groups

    • Once logged into FOLIO, select the Finance App from the black bar at the top of the page. 

    • To look at groups, click on the “Group” filter in the upper left-hand corner in the “Search and filter” panel. Groups were created to match up to the Sierra accounting reports. You can search by fund name or by group name.

    • It is recommended that selectors look at one-time funds by “New Pubs” group so that the total amounts can be seen together, especially for approval plans.

    • For example, search the fund “lat” in groups. Click “New Pubs: Latin American & Caribbean.” A “Group information” pane will open, and it contains LATBL, LATMO, and LATNS dollars together in a single pane. You can resize the panel to better see information.

    Orders App

    Image Added
    • Folio splits orders into two parts: the actual purchase order (PO) and the purchase order line (POL).

    • A purchase order (PO) may have one or more purchase order lines (POLs). To facilitate redirecting orders and cancellations, Acquisitions has set a policy that firm orders and migrated orders will be placed on individual purchase orders (POs). A shipment of approval books could still be processed on a single purchase order.

    Organization

    • When you open the Folio Orders App, the left side panel of the screen contains the search box and filters. The search box allows a person to search for “Orders” (POs) or for “Order Lines” (POLs). Whatever is highlighted in blue is the type of search that will be performed. Dropdown menus allow users to set the search criteria, and filters are available to narrow down searches
