Transfers within a district All state-owned textbook transfers between schools within a district should be completed using the Transfer Textbooks function in Destiny Textbook Manager As textbooks are transferred between schools, each school’s inventory for state-owned textbooks is automatically adjusted Information on all completed transfers is available on the new Archive tab

Returning textbooks to State All textbook returns to the State are will now be handled with new Returns functionality Functionality is very similar to existing process Barcoded textbooks are scanned when defining a return Provide a count for each title for new textbooks being returned

State Inventory Process State-wide inventory will be completed in Destiny Textbook Manager for all state-owned books Scan barcoded copies Enter counts for titles/copies that are not barcoded Books checked in after May 1 will not need to be rescanned for inventory Keep these books separated from other available inventory to minimize the scanning

State Inventory Process System will remind users of the need to complete inventory in the system All incoming transfers must be received before beginning your inventory process Once the results of the inventory have been reviewed by the State, information on charges or credits can be accessed in the system
