[Evergreen-acq] Receiving delayed/backordered items

[John Amundson]

Hi,

This has never been directly reported to us, either, but I did confirm the
behavior and updated the affected count on the bug.

Since it sounds like the orders are being placed over EDI, do your
libraries get electronic invoices, as well?

Most of our libraries set up through EDI also get invoices in Evergreen.
They will then receive items directly from the invoice and not the PO,
(using the "Receive Items" button that appears in the top-right of the
invoice screen when there are receivable items).

What happens when the library tries to receive the item from the invoice?
