[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Acquisitions on Evergreen

[Kathy Lussier]

Hi Sheila,

>>3. Load MARC order records Purchase Order did not activate - we ended
>>up cancelling it and creating a new one in a different way.

There was a bug reported for this issue at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/865552.

With the new development to add Vandelay matching to acquisitions in 2.2,
this problem seems to be partially fixed in that Evergreen now recognizes
that the order is activated. However, I just filed a new bug this week
because those orders are not being sent via EDI
https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/992108. So, there has been some
progress on this issue for 2.2, but there is still a little work left to be
done.

By the way, if others are also experiencing this issue, there is a "Does
this bug affect you?" link on the bug report that helps the report generate
more heat. 

Sorry to say I can't help or provide any insight on the other issues you
identified.

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy

>>Hello

>>Can anyone help us with these acquisitions issues?  If there is someone
>>out there we would love to hear from you.

>>We went live on Evergreen on December 1st 2011 (SEDAR Consortium)  and
>>find acquisitions a real struggle.
>>1. Invoices of more than 100 lines do not save. We have one at present
>>which will not save and close therefore is not debiting the budgets.
>>Neither will it let a line be removed, so it is just in a limbo.
>>2. Purchase orders of over 50 lines take forever to reload., e.g. 150
>>lines took 3 minutes to re-load.
>>3. Load MARC order records Purchase Order did not activate - we ended
>>up cancelling it and creating a new one in a different way.
>>4. If you activate a PO and there is a problem with one of the lines,
>>system does not tell you which line is problem, so you need to go
>>through them all 5. When moving items from Selection List to a PO, it
>>changes the order, then when you create an invoice for the items, they
>>go into a different order. There is no means of selecting which way
>>they are put in order.
>>6. Can be on page 3 of a selection List, but get put back to page 1
>>when you add a line and save it.
>>7. When in a PO you always get put back to top of list when you save a
>>line and have to scroll down to where you were.
>>
>>This list of problems is not exhaustive, just the most annoying ones.
>>Looking forward to solutions

>>Best wishes
