<para>Evergreen tracks items through the entire acquisitions process.  When a purchase order is activated the bibliographic records and holdings are loaded into the \r
catalogue and the funds for the purchase order are encumbered in the system.  When an invoice is created and filled in, the funds are spent.</para>\r
