Item Processing Time

Custom > ~Tech Services > Item Processing Time


Requires the use of Polaris acquisitions module to function as the date is based off the Invoice line-item segment date.

Displays the number of days between when an item is received and when it is made available. The report will also show items that have been invoiced but are not cataloged. The times for the dates in this report are always treated as midnight. For example, to show items processed in January 2016 you’d select 1/1/2016 and 2/1/2016 to include all days in January.

If you want to show outstanding unprocessed items, you may need to adjust your start date further back (maybe to the year prior). The start date is when the item was invoiced from the vendor, typically this corresponds to the SHIP date for libraries using Polaris’ EDI.
