[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Acquisitions on Evergreen

2012-05-02 Thread Sheila Miller
Hello

Can anyone help us with these acquisitions issues?  If there is someone out 
there we would love to hear from you.

We went live on Evergreen on December 1st 2011 (SEDAR Consortium)  and find 
acquisitions a real struggle.  
1. Invoices of more than 100 lines do not save. We have one at present which 
will not save and close therefore is not debiting the budgets. Neither 
will it let a line be removed, so it is just in a limbo.
2. Purchase orders of over 50 lines take forever to reload., e.g. 150 lines 
took 3 minutes to re-load.
3. Load MARC order records Purchase Order did not activate - we ended up 
cancelling it and creating a new one in a different way.
4. If you activate a PO and there is a problem with one of the lines, system 
does not tell you which line is problem, so you need to go through them all
5. When moving items from Selection List to a PO, it changes the order, then 
when you create an invoice for the items, they go into a different order. There 
is no means of selecting which way they are put in order.
6. Can be on page 3 of a selection List, but get put back to page 1 when you 
add a line and save it. 
7. When in a PO you always get put back to top of list when you save a line and 
have to scroll down to where you were.

This list of problems is not exhaustive, just the most annoying ones.
Looking forward to solutions

Best wishes

Sheila

Hi Sheila,

3. Load MARC order records Purchase Order did not activate - we ended
up cancelling it and creating a new one in a different way.

There was a bug reported for this issue at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/865552.

With the new development to add Vandelay matching to acquisitions in 2.2,
this problem seems to be partially fixed in that Evergreen now recognizes
that the order is activated. However, I just filed a new bug this week
because those orders are not being sent via EDI
https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/992108. So, there has been some
progress on this issue for 2.2, but there is still a little work left to be
done.

By the way, if others are also experiencing this issue, there is a Does
this bug affect you? link on the bug report that helps the report generate
more heat. 

Sorry to say I can't help or provide any insight on the other issues you
identified.

Thanks for sharing!

Kathy
