Adoptions
Record which of the publisher's titles a school has adopted for an academic year, and see what that adoption is worth.
/field/adoptionsAn adoption is the list of the publisher's titles a school is considering or has taken up for one academic year. For each title you track where the school stands, from sampled to adopted or lost. SalesYatra works out the adoption's value from the school's class sizes and the catalogue's list prices.
Each school has one adoption per academic year. Anyone who can pick the school opens and edits that same record.
Record an adoption
Pick the school and the year
Open Adoptions. Under School, pick the school. The list shows the schools you are accountable for. An Administrator sees every school.
Academic year starts at the current one. Academic years run April to March, so on 25 September 2026 it reads 2026-2027. To look at another year, type it in the same YYYY-YYYY form.
Add the titles
Select Add title. A new line appears with the status SAMPLED. Open Select title and search for it by title, ISBN or author. Each match shows its name, its class and its list price, and titles withdrawn from the catalogue are not offered.
Set the line's status with the second list, and add a line for each title you are tracking. To take a title off, select the bin icon at the end of its line.
Save
Select Save adoption. When the button reads Saved, your changes are stored. Lines where you didn't pick a title are dropped.
Saving replaces the whole list of titles for that school and year with what is on your screen. If a colleague on the same school changed the list after you opened it, your save overwrites their change. Reopen the school to see the latest list before you edit.
Update an adoption
Pick the same school and academic year. The saved lines load into Adoption lines. Change a status, add or remove titles, then select Save adoption.
If you switch school or year before saving, your unsaved changes are discarded.
Statuses
Every title on an adoption carries one of four statuses. The badge shows the word as it appears below.
| Status | Counts toward the adoption value |
|---|---|
| SAMPLED | No. New lines start here. |
| SHORTLISTED | No |
| ADOPTED | Yes |
| LOST | No |
Adoption value
Once the lines are saved, the Adoption value card shows the total at the top and one row per title.
For each adopted title, the value is the school's enrolment in that title's class for the academic year, multiplied by the title's list price. A row reads like 72 × ₹285 = ₹20,520. Titles with any other status show ₹0.
- Where the numbers come from. The value uses today's list price from the catalogue and the enrolment an administrator entered for the school. If either one changes, the value changes with it.
- No enrolment. An adopted title whose class has no enrolment for that year shows a no enrolment badge and adds nothing. The card then says to set enrolment in Admin → Schools. Ask an administrator to add the class sizes. See Schools.
- Before the first save. The card reads "Save lines to compute the value."
Good to know
- Adoptions stand on their own. Logging a visit or raising an order doesn't change an adoption, so keep it up to date yourself.
- No approvals. An adoption is never sent to your manager, and it has no manager view. A manager's school list shows only the schools they are accountable for themselves.
- Up to 200 titles fit on one adoption.
