Bug ID: 43534
Summary: Allow MarcFieldsToOrder to map a MARC field to
supplier's reference number/qualifier
Initiative type: ---
Sponsorship ---
status:
Product: Koha
Version: Main
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P5 - low
Component: Acquisitions
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
QA Contact: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
This enhancement extends the MARC Orders workflow (Koha::MarcOrder, driven
by the MarcFieldsToOrder / MarcItemFieldsToOrder system preferences) to
allow mapping a field on the incoming MARC order record to the existing
aqorders.suppliers_reference_number and aqorders.suppliers_reference_qualifier
columns.
Currently those two columns are only ever populated by the EDIFACT
quote-to-order flow (Koha::EDI, when an order is created from a supplier's
QUOTES message), using the reference value the supplier returned in RFF+QLI
or RFF+SLI. Koha::MarcOrder.pm has no equivalent mapping target, so an order
created by staging a MARC file from a vendor can never record that vendor's
own unique identifier for the order line.
Use case:
Vendors such as GOBI/YBP can supply MARC order records for import via
MarcFieldsToOrder, and separately send EDIFACT INVOIC (invoice) messages for
those same orders, quoting their own unique order/line reference (e.g. a
GOBI order ID) in RFF+SLI. If Koha could capture that same vendor reference
at MARC-order time into suppliers_reference_number /
suppliers_reference_qualifier,
it would become possible to match invoice lines back to the correct aqorders
row using the vendor's own ID, rather than relying solely on Koha's internal
ordernumber (RFF+LI) being echoed back correctly by the vendor.
This bug is a prerequisite for a related enhancement to add RFF+SLI matching
support to EDI invoice processing (Koha::EDI).
Suggested implementation:
- Add a mapping option in the MarcFieldsToOrder (and/or MarcItemFieldsToOrder)
YAML syntax for suppliers_reference_number and suppliers_reference_qualifier.
- Have Koha::MarcOrder read this mapping when building the order hash passed
to Koha::Acquisition::Order->new / ->insert, alongside the other mapped
fields.
