***We handle it much the same, with a few refinements: 1) I put a note on the membership/group payment PO listing the titles paid. 2) I group the POs by number. The membership is 12345-Mem; Journal of This Membership is #12345-Jou; This Membership Bulletin is #12345-Bul, etc. 3) I also put a note on each individual PO "Paid on PO#12345-Mem." 4) I leave the title POs status as pending (in other words, I don't approve them.)

On the bib record we list the titles included in the payment. Then for check-in we create separate POs for each title we check in and include a note to indicate that we "do not pay" on these POs, that they are for check-in only. It's not pretty, but it seems to work for us. One problem we have is that all of these "do not pay" POs consistently show up on our open order reports. We thought about trying to change their status to "complete" so they won't show up as open orders, but we decided not to because my understanding is that if we ever wanted to do a report of all current titles received, their status would need to be "approved/sent" in order to get an accurate list/count because we "complete" all ceased and canceled titles which we would not want to show up on such a report. I'm not the person here who does these reports so I might not have this precisely correct. If you need more advice about using Voyager, I suggest trying also the Voyager-L list. I've found it quite helpful. Thanks, Ann Ann S. Doyle Serials Acquisitions Librarian Co-Leader, Young Library Serials Team University of Kentucky Libraries 500 S.
