[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Acquisitions: dealing with cancelled/backordered line items

[Kathy Lussier]

Hi Jane,

My recollection is that in 2.4.4, you can't change the status of a line 
item in the staff client once it is cancelled. In 2.4.7, you will be 
able to change it to received 
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1115599), but you still can't 
cancel it a second time. I believe our acq people handle this by 
changing the cancel reason directly in the database.

It won't help you now, but Equinox is doing some development for us that 
will allow you to change the cancel reason. We hope the development will 
make it into 2.7. You can read the specs at 
http://yeti.esilibrary.com/dev/pub/techspecs/acq-cancel-reason-display.html.
