PPDA issue: POL automatically created with Order line type: Physical – One Time upon clicking Approve and Order for PPDA requests.
DDA purchase request are one such requests created automatically through Primo and goes into Alma as a Purchase Request. The request is created automatically as opposed to one that is created by raising the PO Line. And the POL is automatically created with Order line type: Physical – One Time upon clicking Approve and Order for PPDA requests that the libray receives. We are not able to change the configuration on our side to Print Book – One Time and there is no option to change. In the February Enhancement 2018, there is a workaround, but it does not help…

Number of received items
We would like in each POL a field with the number of received items next to the number of requested items, to know how many items are delayed.

Simplify license printing
The latest printing option for license management is to require that we configure a print-out. To require that we can code so that we can obtain a print-out seems a bit of overkill and the "out of the box" form has randomly selected ERMI terms in no apparent order, making it unusable. I believe what we really want/need is to just be able to screen print a license for annotation or documentation. But if our only option is to use the configured print-out, the "out of the box" form should reflect the "out of the box" terms we've selected to…

Read/Write PO Line via item editor
Dear Ex Libris team,
If you open the PO Line via the item editor, it is only read-only available. Unfortunately, communication cannot be started with this read-only form. However, it would be helpful for journal dunning, because otherwise you have to interrupt the item receipt workflow to open the PO line form.
It would be great if you make the communication tab available in the PO Line form if opened via the Physical Item Editor.Greetings,

Let Persistent Search Box stay sticky to All Titles
We would like the ability to keep the All Titles Search option sticky after we choose to order something, when browsing the results of an All Titles Search. This is the default way we create new orders, so the change of the persistent box to default to PO Lines after creating an order is counter-productive.

Currently in Technical Services Until...
In Acquisitions: When we use the "Post-Receiving Processing" scan to "Set Status To" a particular technical services area, it would be fantastic if we had the ability to give each area a specific default number of days the item will be in that area. For example: we're setting an item's status to be pam-bound in-house and when we scan that item's barcode to set its status to Pam Binding, the Alma system would automatically give it a certain number of days to be there. Alternatively, when we set a status for sending another item to our out-of-town bindery, the default…

Ensure invoice lines always appear in the right order on the Purchase Order Lines page of the new UI
There is a tendency of the new Alma UI to scramble the order in which invoice lines appear on the Purchase Order Lines page. We would like to request a permanent rectification of this.
Scenario:
1) Staff member searches for an PO Line.
2) They click the Edit option for the search result, and from the Purchase Order Lines page which comes up they select the Invoice Lines tab.
3) The invoice lines are correctly ordered with the latest invoice at the top and the previous payments follow going back in time.
4) They then click into a different tab…

Add Order button to Record View
Currently, only Copy, Link, Back and Edit are options in Record View. It would be nice to be able to "Order" an item while in record view, instead of needing to click on back and then order from the All Titles results list. Not only would this save clicks/mousing, it would substantially reduce the risk of accidentally ordering from the wrong record, then having to go through relinking everything.

manual orders: adding the possibility of selecting/deselecting the POLs for an invoice
a. an invoice arrives:
b. as very often is the case, it is referred to only a few POLs of a big PO (a PO containing a lot of POLs)
c. we use the function “create invoice” with parameter "invoice from PO";
d. all the POLs are automatically assigned to the invoice, then you have to choose the relevant ones, and that’s OK.
In order to choose POLs, it should be necessary to have the possibility of selecting/deselecting the POLs with a check: now it is not possible, and you have to cancel the POLs one by one: this…8 votesHello All,

Can the "receive New items" link (when receiving continuous items) be made into a more obvious BUTTON? Thanks

Include the same details in an Acquisitions Placed HOLD as for a Patron Request placed through the repository search
Currently, we cannot use the checkbox to hold an item for an interested user in the PO Line to place an item on hold. This is because the information provided when this option is chosen is so much more minimal than what is seen if we put a request on the book from the repository search, that our Fulfillment department often does not expect the hold -- it does not show up when the scan the item in, and it does not indicate who it is for. As a result, items where we use the hold item checkbox from the…

Add percentage to reporting codes
Now that ExLibris has added the secondary and tertiary reporting codes, it would be really helpful to be able to add a percentage to each of the additional reporting codes so that PO lines and invoices will show the percentage split, just like the fund codes do. This would be especially helpful with ERP so invoices that are split across more than one reporting code/fund would not have to be dealt with manually.

Enable customization of Receive New Material columns
We would like to have the ability to completely customize the data elements in the Receive New Material columns. Vendor name, for instance, which is not a current column option, would be helpful. Our library, like many others, combines Receiving and Copy cataloging functions, so Brief Level would be an extremely useful column to see at point of receipt, in order to enable easy identification of bibliographic record quality.

Different Sorting Option in Funds List Display
I would like to see the addition of the sorting mechanism based on status that is found in the vendors list added to the display of the Funds List Display that can default to "Active" funds. Since the default seems to be all the funds that have ever been appear, it would make more sense to mimic the "Active", "All", "Inactive" that is used for "Vendor Status" than ask users to click on additional facets for "Fund/Ledger Status".
I don't know what is more favorable among customers (the current facets or the mimicking of status as shown in the Vendor…
