Confirm the Picks for an Order
If the picklist shows a course material that has either a rental extension or convert-to-purchase code, you must confirm the picks for the order to charge them, but do not physically pick and ship the item to the customer.
Verify the ISBN matches and the condition and quantity specified is correct prior to confirming the order. After sorting the orders, confirm the orders in SODA.

The inventory quantity is reduced accordingly. If your store has multiple locations, it is important to process the order in the location it was received, regardless of where a customer will pick up the order. If necessary, deliver the items to the location where it will be picked up.
If the item is a rental extension or a convert-to-purchase, inventory is not reduced since the customer already has the item.
There are different confirmation paths depending on the payment type and if it is the originating store or fulfilling store:
ePay
Complete the pick confirm in SODA using the below steps for confirmation of an order.
Non-ePay
See: Process Non-ePay eFollett Orders
Pick Confirm in SODA
- From the SODA main menu, select Store Order Pick/Ship Confirm.
- To find a particular order, type the SODA order number or web order number in the fields in the top half of the screen.
Click Find. - To select an order, select an order line in the lower half of the screen.
Click Select. The Pick Qty field defaults to the number of items the customer ordered. Verify that this quantity was picked or enter 0 to zero-pick the item.
Note: When you see the messages <CnvPur> or <RntExt>, do not pull the item, just pick confirm the order.
<CnvPur> | Important! Customer already has the book—do not ship! The rental item has been converted to a purchase. |
<RntExt> | Important! Customer already has the book—do not ship! The rental item rental time has been extended. |
Important: Do not partially pick a quantity. Then, after verifying the quantities of any other items on the order, pick confirm the order. Note: Zero picking the item routes the order to OMS to search the on-hands at another location, including DSVs. If on-hands are found the item sources to that location. If on-hands are not found the item is placed on backorder. |
