Donor codes allow for recognition of a donor. A donor could be:
someone who has given money or materials to the library
someone on whose behalf others have given money or materials
someone the library wants to honor, regardless of a gift
on a purchase order line item, a Docstore item record, or both. Donors are an optional data element for both POs and Docstore items.
