GOBI (formely YBP) is an aquisitions management system. It handles most of the
acquisitions workflow, and traditionally generated MARC files to be included on
 the institution's library systems. Those files were usually served on an FTP
server, for the institution to download and import on their ILS.

GOBI implemented what they call GOBIapi, which is a simple workflow for them to
directly inject that acquisitions information and resulting records through the
use of webservices. In Koha, this means having an endpoint accepting GOBI order
messages (in their documented XML format) and have it follow the internal Koha
workflow for baskets:
- Create a basket
- Fill it with the record and budget information, etc
- Close the basket and mark it as received.
- Deal with the received MARC data.
