[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] ***SPAM*** Re: deactivate an order?

[Robert Meeks]

Thanks for the response Tim. True, I certainly wouldn't want to edit an EDI order once sent, but luckily for me we don't yet have EDI up and running (hopefully soon…). 

The scenarios under which I like being able to edit orders typically are few and far between, but usually involve ordering from places like Amazon or EBSCO. I just like the freedom of being able to change something if needed, that's all. I could be all alone in this, but it's what I'm used to with SirsiDynix Symphony's acquisitions system.

Thanks again for the response,

This is problematic if I ever want to add line items to POs that have already been activated, change prices, etc. Anyone know how to deactivate a PO, if it's even possible? I absolutely hate having to cancel a PO and start from scratch in the event of an error.
