<p class="NoteShade"><b>Important:<br /></b>Your library may have collection development programs where suppliers send many titles of a specific type or genre, but the titles are not known until you receive the order. In these cases, you can create an invoice without a purchase order and give it an order type of <b>Approval Plan</b> or <b>Blanket Order. </b>Your library may refer to these types of orders as <span style="font-style: italic;">standing orders. </span>However, in Polaris, the order type <span style="font-weight: bold;">Standing Order</span> is used only with serials.
