Bug of the Month - January 2019


Bug - Web Client: Find Originating Acquisitions missing from Actions menu
https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1705497

Description of Bug

The “Find Originating Acquisitions” function which links catalogued  
items to their acquisitions line item is no longer available in the  
web client.  This function used to be found under the “Actions for  
Selected Items” menu in Item Status in the XUL client

Evergreen Version(s)
All versions of the web client
EG 3.0, 3.1, and 3.2

Workaround

There is no in client workaround.  If you have SQL access to your  
database you can run a query like “select lineitem,a.barcode as  
tempacqbarcode, c.barcode as copybarcode,c.deleted from  
acq.lineitem_detail a, asset.copy c where a.eg_copy_id = c.id and  
c.barcode in ('BARCODE1', 'BARCODE2');” to find the originating line  
item.


Desired Resolution / Fix
Ideally, the function will be added to the Actions menu in Item Status.
