When the shipment is received at NBC, the books are counted and compared to the total quantity returned by students. An invoice is then created by NBC for any NMRP rentals books that aren’t in the shipment. The invoice is based on the shipment, not on the numbers in PrismCore. This invoice is then sent to the store.
When the invoice arrives, you should compare it to the rental PO in the Receiving module. If the quantities on the invoice match the PO quantities in PrismCore, close the PO and proceed with entering the invoice. If quantities do not match, update the purchase order to match the invoice. If you have questions, contact PrismCore ICS Support.
