FAWG Handshakes and workarounds
FOLIO Community Documentation_Orders
Description
Ordering individual electronic items without GOBI integration, e.g. ebook, streaming video
Steps
Go to Connexion to find the appropriate record; copy OCLC number. (Since individually cataloged electronic items never share records, there is no need to first look in Inventory for the appropriate record.)
Actions → Import → enter OCLC number → Record is imported into Inventory
Copy HRID of the newly imported Instance for later use in creating the POL
If no appropriate record exists in Connexion, consult local documentation.

If connecting to Inventory:
Use Title look-up to add POL Title. Select Instance HRID from the search dropdown menu; paste in Instance HRID identified previously in Inventory (see Section 1 above); select the title in the search results to Connect the Inventory Instance to the POL.
Re: Title look-up: When the POL connects to the identified Instance, some of the bibliographic-type fields will be filled in automatically from the Instance within the Item details area. Also on the right-hand side at the same level as Title, will become hyperlinked
