While this was indeed the case a few years ago when acquisitions was new 
and few sites were using it, I can't say that this a problem anymore. 
There are many Evergreen sites using acquisitions now, and I think we've 
gotten much better as a community at answering these questions.

In addition to what Bill noted in his email, I'll add that we had 
libraries that had requested that the PO Name be included in EDI 
messages. If this is something your libraries need, it's done through 
the Attribute Definitions tab. There are some instructions for doing so 
at http://docs.evergreen-ils.org/2.7/_ordering.html - you'll need to 
look at step 4 of preparing for record order loading.

In addition to following those steps, your PO JEDI template needs to be 
configured to send the PO Name. I believe it's configured by default to 
send it to Ingram.
