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.
Reporting Code 1: Order Material Type
We plan to apply the Aleph order material type to our migrated orders after go-live using the PO Line API to update Reporting Code 1. The PO Line Type in Alma is not as granular as we’d like for our reporting needs and the PO Material Type for electronic orders is not a customizable list. To best accommodate our reporting needs, Reporting Code 1 contains a list of order material types.

Other Order Reporting Code Requests to Consider/Discuss
Categories currently tracked on Aleph budgets that don't exist in Alma
Is it too much of a burden on staff to add these values at the order level? What about batch order creation - how would these values get set?
Order Group
The Aleph Order Group is used by the Law Library to indicate publication types. Could these values be added to Reporting Code 1?
For reference in reviewing this request, the following is a count of active orders (status SU or SV) by Ordering Unit and Order Group:
