CATALOGUE FEATURE
With the new Catalog Module users now can have the ability to set up a custom catalogue of pre-approved items from various vendors.  The catalogue allows teachers to only have to click a check box, rather than type out all of the relevant item information to order it.  Each catalogue item can me easily added/inactivated or modified.
• BULKING CATALOG ORDERS - Ability to look at all items requested for each catalogue vendor, modify the amounts to be ordered based on what materials you may already have in your resource center or library, and then bulk all requests into one order for each vendor.  This will save you shipping fees and allow your school to take advantage of special bulk rates offerd by many vendors.
• NON-BULKING CATALOGS - Ability to have all catalogue orders pull the funds from the associated students account rather than a catalogue budget and have the order shipped directly to the ES, rather than bulking all orders and shipping to a single location.


TEACHER BUDGETS vs STUDENT BUDGETS
Our system also has the ability to have all EMR (Educational Material Resources) come out of a teacher budget, while other order types, such as VCI (Vendor Course Instruction), come out of a student budget.


VARSITY BOOKS
We have integrated with Varsity Books.  Now teachers can use the student budgets set up in OPS to purchase materials on varsity books website.  Each order gets put into our system and pulls the funds from the student budget. www.varsitybooks.com
