Hi Amanda,<br>
That sounds right: in the Item record use the Source of Acquisition and Cost Price fields (or perhaps better, if you have rrp, is to use Replacement Price). To compile the report, you of course need a unique value to select on, so that probably means just
being careful with the Donor name.<br>
<br>
For large, valuable donations, we have also seen libraries create a Collection code, but sometimes that has been associated with a specific space as well.<br>
