Hi Leslie,
Although Acquisitions related questions tend to not get answered, I'm
putting this out here anyway in hope of hooking someone.....
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.

Hi Leslie,
Purchase order IDs and lineitem IDs are included in EDI messages by
default. That's the primary mechanism for synchronizing data between
Evergreen and the vendor. Item (copy) IDs are not included by
default, but can be with a change to the EDI template.
What problem are you trying to solve, exactly?

On the advice of several Acquisitions users to include line item
id's and/or purchase order id's in EDI communications with vendors
we created a consortial standard for our Holdings Subfields and
now need to add a couple more fields to the holdings subfields
list of name values that is used to set up this information in the
Provider record. It seems as if this is turning into an project
that shouldn't be so complicated. If you are using Acquisitions,
how are you transmitting the line item id or PO id back and forth
between the library and vendor? and if you had to add this to the
holdings subfields mapping how did you do it? Please and thanks
to anyone willing to take the time to answer.
