Vendor Orders allows the district to increase inventory counts for existing ISBNs by creating vendor orders. Vendor sources are also documented in a vendor order and could include a depository, a local vendor, a publishing company, or your state’s education agency. Once the items are received and in stock at the district level, they can be distributed to campuses.
