Overview

About the Tool

The LISWALA Library Accession Register Analyticstool converts your library's raw accession records and procurement invoice details into an interactive collection and financial intelligence dashboard. Instead of spending hours writing manual formulas or compiling separate reports for inspection bodies, librarians can instantly explore collection growth, vendor performance, purchase order fulfillment, payment clearance, and annual expenditure.

Data Structure

Understanding the Excel Template

Download Template (.xlsx)

The workbook uses two worksheets to keep bibliographic accession details organized and properly connected with financial payment records:

Worksheet 1Book Details

Records every accessioned physical book copy with its bibliographic identifiers:

Columns:

Barcode, Book Type, Author, Title, Edition, Publisher, Year, ISBN, Pages, Department, Subject, Invoice Number.

Worksheet 2Invoice Details

Records procurement orders, supplier names, bill amounts, and transaction disbursements:

Columns:

Order No., Supplier Name, Invoice Number, Invoice Date, Invoice Amount, Payment Mode, Transaction/DD Number, Payment Date, Paid Amount, Financial Year.

Relational Linking via “Invoice Number”:

The Invoice Number column is the connecting bridge. Each row in Book Details references the invoice under which it was purchased, enabling the system to calculate supplier-wise volume counts, order fulfillment values, and departmental expenditure automatically.

Important Notes & Rules

One Row = One Physical CopyEach row in Book Details represents one physical book volume on the shelf with a unique barcode.
Separate Volume & Title CountsMultiple copies of the same title are counted separately as volumes, while unique titles are calculated separately.
One Invoice May Contain Multiple BooksMany book records can reference the same Invoice Number across different subjects and titles.
Multi-Installment Payment VouchersOne invoice may have multiple payment transactions recorded as separate rows in Invoice Details.
No Repeated Invoice Amount CountingGross billed values are consolidated by unique Invoice Number so installment rows do not inflate totals.
Audit-Ready Report ExportsAll generated Excel, PDF, and CSV reports conform to NAAC Criterion 4.2 and AICTE inspection requirements.
