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.

Hello all,
I am trying to do some cleanup in our acquisitions module, and am
wondering if there is any way to change a line item's cancel reason.
We're using Evergreen 2.4.4, and have several backordered items that
have finally been cancelled by our vendor. The line items are already
cancelled in Evergreen (with Backorder Quantity as the cancel reason)
per the vendor's EDI acknowledgement, but I would like to change the
cancel reason to something that removes the encumbrance. Is there a
way to take care of this in the staff client?
If there is no way to do this in the staff client, do you have any
suggested procedures for taking care of this issue? I'd be very
interested to hear how other libraries are handling this.
Thanks very much for your help,
