  1. Libraries often create orders in their own LSP system to keep track of order commitments and manage receiving. If the library has no means of transmitting this data to the relevant vendors they would need to manually re-create these orders in a vendor system.
  2. Creating orders in a vendor system requires the library to first confirm in their own system whether they currently own the material or not. If the order can be creating created in the library system and electronically sent it helps prevent the duplication acquisitions work.
