    If you could configure an extra e-mail address to receive a copy of each claim letter sent, this would also make it much easier to manage claims. You would then be able to search the e-mail to find the correct letter, and you could look at the dates to control what went out a specific date. In addition you could then control the claim e-mails as they are sent, even if the job is aborted. We have experienced the claim job malfunctioning and no claim letters were then saved under attachements on the vendor, and we had no control over what had been sent.

    This should be an option for all claim letters, both for purchase and legal deposit.

    It would still be practical for the POL to link to the receiving workbench, especially for periodicals. For continuous orders only items in claim are possible to receive directly on the POL, in addition it is not practical to use the POL to receive periodicals when there are a lot of issues. In some instances for monographs it is not practical to use the new option for receiving in the POL, in regards to f example printing barcodes and additional functionality which is only available in the receiving workbench. A link from the POL to the receiving workbench would in these instances be a good option.

    Planned  ·  AdminZohar Shemesh (zohar.shemesh@exlibrisgroup.com, Ex Libris) responded

    Dear Community,


    This is to update you that we plan to enhance the "Update PO Lines Information" job in a future Alma release. We plan to add 19 new fields to this job:

    Additional PO line reference field
    Cancellation Restriction
    Cancellation Restriction Note
    Add labels
    Remove labels
    Create new label
    Reclaim interval
    Subscription interval
    Note to vendor

    Vendor reference number type 
    Routing during receiving
    Binding during receiving
    Activation note
    Renewal date
    Subscription from
    Subscription to
    Renewal reminder period (days)
    Renewal note
    Internal note


    In addition, the job form will be divided into sections, allowing to easily locate the required field/s to update.


    Please follow up on Alma Release Notes for update on this development.


    Best wishes,

    Zohar Shemesh

    This is a good idea. We also need the fields reclaim interval and subscription interval added to the job "Update PO lines information", Claiming grace is available today in this job and is found in the same secton of the POL as the fields mentioned above. It seems illogical that only claiming grace can be changed in the job.

    We are also experiencing this as a problem. Each time we create predicted items we need to use "run a job" or the cloud app "multiple item edit" to generate a new description for the predicted items. This takes a lot of time, and seems unnecessarily complicated. In our configuration, under resources - general - description templates, the logic for how the description should look has been created. This logic should be used when creating the predicted items.

    Dear community, as part of the ongoing UX improvements in Alma, the "Receive new material" screen (aka Receiving WB) is planned to be refactored and support the need described in this idea. For more information see Alma roadmap:

    Great news that this suggestion has been accepted! This would be a great improvement to our workflow and would mean a lot less clicking and going between different screens. Like Lindsay commented I could not find this in the roadmap you linked to, I hope this improvement will be included.
