Reporting Codes
Alma reporting codes are sets of customizable controlled vocabularies added to purchase orders to support reporting needs. Here are some reminders about reporting codes:
Reporting code isn’t a required field, but users do see an Alert when saving the order if they haven't chosen a reporting code.
You can add a reporting code to an order at any point in the lifecycle (even when they're closed)
Reporting codes apply to all libraries within our Alma instance (we can’t create separate sets of values for Law, Ford, etc)
Reporting codes display on invoice lines that are linked to a PO and you can customize your invoice line view to include multiple reporting codes.
Proposed List of Reporting Codes
The following list contains reporting codes suggested by members of the Alma Acquisitions Implementation Team. Further discussion is needed to finalize this list, so the use of reporting codes may change as we learn more about Alma functionality and our reporting needs.
