This page is to list and explain each of the campuses choices on the TBK school menu screen.
1. TEXTBOOK INQUIRY-(TBK03)
This screen allows a school to review all the activity on a specific textbook. This screen shows the title, publisher, isbn, cost, adoption period, distribution percentage, number of textbooks that are on the campus, and how many content mastery copies have been provided. In addition there is a transaction history that lists every transfer in, pickup from,and lost textbook payments for that specific title. The items are listed in reverse date order.
2. LOCATION ON-HAND TOTALS-(TBK07)
This screen allows a campus to generate a report that lists every current textbook title that has been assigned to that campus. The report lists the textbooks in grade and then subject order. Under each title there is a list of all of the subtitles(parts) that makeup a complete item.(The textbook office is in the process of entering all the subtitles.)
3. TEXTBOOK TRANSFER REQUEST-(TBK10)
This screen allows a school to order additional textbooks. The TBK system will use this formula to determine if an order will be allowed to be entered.
{[(students enrolled + content mastery)]x (distribution %)]-textbooks on the campus}
{[(100 students enrolled + 3 content mastery textbooks)]x (1.05 distribution %)- 90 textbooks on the campus}
100+3=103
103 x 1.05=108.15
108-90=18 textbooks that could be ordered.
A request for 19 textbooks will be refused by the TBK System.
