Many libraries, especially in developing countries, acquire materials on-approval. On-approval purchases are therefore fully supported. The following processes are automated.

Library staff initiates requests to vendors for supply of one or more items for evaluation/approval.

Details of items received are entered and routed to approving authorities

Approving authorities return details online or offline after approval (or rejection).

Approved items are moved to orders file and then on to the Request for invoice process since item in question is already in possession of the library.
