--- Comment #6 from Katrin Fischer <[email protected]> 2012-01-15 18:16:30 UTC --- Some notes: 1) The change only changes the behaviour for AcqCreateItem = on order. The other settings still work as before. So all ok. 2) The main difference between this implementation and the implementation of bug 3966 is the presentation of the item information on the order receive screen. 3966 uses the standard item form and pulls in all ordered items. If you order a lot of items, the form can get pretty big and hard to work with. This implementation uses a separate table with items, edit links and checkboxes. The editing of items from this screen works very nicely and saving the form redirects correctly to the receive screen. I like the way it's done here. Fields displayed in the table are: Barcode Home branch Location Call number Some notes about the table: a) Home branch and location display the codes instead of the descriptions. I would like to see the description displayed here. b) Collection is never displayed, even if it's set for one of the items. It would be nice to make this configurable or display location/collection and some other fields if they are set for one of the items. 3) Workflow change: You now have to use the checkboxes to select how many items you want to receive instead of entering the number in the field. The field is blocked and the number can not be entered there directly. Checking and unchecking the checkboxes to select the items works nicely. Is it a problem that the quantity can not be entered directly? Suggestion: Make it possible to edit the number manually and check/uncheck items from top to bottom accordingly. 4) It's no longer possible to receive more items than have been ordered. This was possible before the change, but I am not sure it's a good feature. If you receive more items than have been ordered no item records are created. You have to create them in cataloguing and by doing so the items will not be linked to the order. Suggestion: Add a link to add a new item, redirect like the edit links do and increase the item number on the order accordingly. I am a bit worried about 4) although I am not sure if this feature is used by many(?) libraries. I am signing off on the first patch and I think a second opinion for the workflow changes described in 3) and 4) would be good. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes. _______________________________________________ Koha-bugs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.koha-community.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/koha-bugs website : http://www.koha-community.org/ git : http://git.koha-community.org/ bugs : http://bugs.koha-community.org/
