[Evergreen-catalogers] Acquisitions Bug of the Month

[Jennifer Pringle]

Hello,

The Acquisitions Interest Group decided at the Evergreen Conference in  
April to try a new form of member engagement.  Rather than holding  
quarterly meetings on irc each month an acquisitions bug will be  
featured in an email to this list.  This will bring more exposure to  
some of the acquisitions bugs that have a large impact on acquisitions  
libraries and their workflows and allow acquisitions staff to engage  
as time permits, rather than at a specified time.

Get involved by testing your system for the bug, indicating on  
Launchpad if you’re affected by the bug, and commenting on Launchpad  
or through the list if you have further information about the bug or  
suggestions about what you’d like to see in a fix.

Have a bug you’d like to see featured as an Acquisitions Bug of the  
Month?  Please email me at jennifer.pringle at bc.libraries.coop.

July Acq Bug of the Month

Bug
Line Items canceled via EDI or deleted from a purchase order are not  
automatically deleting linked bibs/items from catalogue
https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1269574

Description of Bug
When a lineitem is canceled via the ACQ user interface, real copies  
and call numbers which were created as a result of the lineitem are  
deleted when the lineitem is permanently canceled. Similarly, there is  
an org unit setting  
"cat.bib.delete_on_no_copy_via_acq_lineitem_cancel", which tells the  
ACQ backend to delete the catalog record created from the lineitem if  
the record no longer has any viable copies.

However, when cancellation occurs via EDI or when items are deleted  
from a purchase order, none of this cleanup takes place. It should.

Additional places in the acq user interface that are not deleting line  
items when it should or deleting line items when it shouldn't
If you mark a lineitem temporarily canceled (e.g. backordered) through  
the user interface, the real copies are deleted. These copies should  
not be deleted when the cancellation reason is configured to keep  
debits.
Alternatively, if you mark an acq copy permanently cancelled through  
the copies user interface, the real copies are not deleted. These  
copies should be deleted.

Evergreen Version(s)
2.4 +

Desired Resolution / Fix
If the user deletes lineitems with copies attached to them, the system  
will prompt that user to ask whether to delete the copies, and act  
accordingly. Use the open-ils.acq.lineitem.cancel which would handle  
removing the copies/volumes/bibs/holds.
