View purchase request resource history

Discover how to view the resource history for a purchase request in WorldShare Acquisitions.

You can view the resource history of a purchase request to see when the resource of a purchase request has been changed, who made the change, and what the previous resource title and ID were. This can help determine why a particular resource was ordered or if a patron requested a different item originally.
