[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] EDI response files (Mary Llewellyn)

Hi Mary,
   The EDI response will only be at the top of the PO screen "EDI Messages." In that message,  I can see if the PO was successfully sent, the day, time, account.  Unfortunately, there is no information inserted into each line item on the PO.  
   I would think the information for each line item *could* be viewable since the vendors have to translate each one in their system; there must be some kind of ID.  I don't know if that is true.  However, I agree it would be useful to have the EDI message in each line item.  As it is, searching for a title then "view/place orders" will give a link to a PO but does not take us directly to the line item of the PO; only the entire PO.  This makes for a lot of scrolling to find the line item.   We have capped the number of titles to 10-20 on a single PO to minimize scrolling... including the receiving process.

Hi all,

We've had a successful test with Ingram in sending an EDI order and
receiving a response file. I can see 2 EDI messages attached to the PO.
However, I'm not certain what to expect from the response file. In our old
system, messages were attached to individual line items in fairly clear
language. In Evergreen, we can see the contents of the response, but it's a
long string of codes and plus signs. What should we be looking for? 

Thanks,

Mary

Since I won't be able to attend Friday's meeting, I've posted a Documentation Interest Group report on the wiki at http://evergreen-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=community:meetings:2011-07-08:digreport

Unfortunately Fridays don't usually work well for me as my part time work week is Monday through Wednesday.  Hopefully the written report will work out okay though.

Thanks,
Karen

Hi Karen,

I've moved that link from the main page to the newly created agenda page
for the community meeting that's located here:
http://evergreen-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=community:meetings:2011-07-08.

Reviewing the mailing lists, I see 12 +1 votes, and an entry has been
created on the calendar page for an Evergreen Community Meeting on
Friday, July 8th.

Thanks,

-- Ben

I had originally posted this and got some helpful responses but it did not
resolve my issue but I found out some other details.  First, we have org
units set up as follows:


   - Consortium
      - Region
         - Town (system)
            - Library/Branch


Christine Morgan from Noble provided me the setup they are testing and it
was working for them.  I checked my permissions and the only difference we
had was that I had "Manage Providers" in addition to "Admin" providers.  I
removed "Manage Providers" and that did nothing.  Our org unit structure is
also different.  I then tested it to see what the login could see if the
permission was set for consortium vs. region vs. system vs. branch.  Under
branch and system I had the same problem with no providers showing but for
region and consortium I could see providers but it did not seem to recognize
the permission for anything below the send level.  The region appeared to
also drop some of the providers but I have been unable to determine what
would be unique about the providers it drops.

My permissions are here:

Hi All,

At Mohawk College, we implemented QR codes in our catalogue for mobile barcode scanners.

This question came up recently on the list with Joseph Lewis bringing up the possibilities:
http://libmail.georgialibraries.org/pipermail/open-ils-general/2011-June/005014.html

For an example of our implementation see:
http://libcat.mohawkcollege.ca/opac/en-CA/skin/default/xml/rdetail.xml?r=36984&t=linux&tp=keyword&d=0&hc=22&rt=keyword

This allows users with cell phones to scan the QR code and load copy location information to their mobile device (with barcode scanner). It does not require phone service on the device -- just open your barcode scanner app, point your devices camera and scan the code.

Our implementation used the Google charts api to generate the codes on the fly on a Google server. In other words, we are not storing those images on our server or creating code images for each item copy location.

For changesets to the code (Evergreen 2.0.6):
http://libdog.mohawkcollege.ca/projects/evergreen/changeset/109

For more info on QR codes:
http://brain.mohawkcollege.ca/QRCodes

I am willing to provide a patch to the code base but had a concern about whether it can be easily adapted to the future templated opac?
I wasn't sure about which version of Evergreen this would be implemented if it was added and I was not sure about the OPAC template switch time line.

The feature does have a on/off toggle in the code.

Let me know if you recommend that I submit a patch in Launchpad.

Regards,
Robert

I personally feel it would be better to use a perl module, rather than  
farming it off to Google.

Perhaps GD::Barcode::QRCode ?
