[Evergreen-acq] Receiving delayed/backordered items

[Tiffany Little]

Hi Mary,

No one had ever reported that to me before, even though several of my
libraries do multiple branch/copies on one line item. But I just tested on
our test server, and I see exactly what you mean. There's no "Receive"
hyperlink when you drill down into the line item when the line item is
backordered.

Definitely worth a bug report, but also interested if anyone has a
workaround.
