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.

When you change vendors in the PO, there should be a warning note if a PO# is not entered
When you change the vendor for a PO, there needs to be a warning note if you do not fill in the PO#. If you are doing a large number of these (say you changed vendors for a e-journal package) it's very easy to miss putting in one po number, thus changing all your open PO's with that vendor to another vendor.

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,

Trials workflow : enable to fill in block "Analysis and Result" only from trials with In Analysis status
At the moment, it is possible to fill in the block "Analysis and result" in Summary tab at any time of the trial workflow. Even in an evaluation with Draft or Active status.
It doesn't make sens, does it ?
We would like to ask EXL to fix this and enable to fill in block "Analysis and Result" only from trials with In Analysis status.8 votesHello All,

Purchase order line details (subscriptions)
Under the note tab gets filled up with "The PO Line has renewed automatically on (renewal date) by the system" as each year passes. This note should be in the history tab. The note field should be about important information pertaining to the subscription only.

Stop POL lines closing from Receiving?
Currently when receiving an item back ordered item (ordered 4 but received 1) the process is you receive just the one and the invoice just the one item. But when the other 3 items have been received Alma is closing the POL once they have been received? This is causing issues as the Supervisor must then delete the invoice and unreceive the item and start again. After checking all the learning material and ex-Libris/Alma videos there is no way for a person to be doing this and the Pals from the area have even watched the whole process and it…

License Section Names
I would like to be able to add my own license section names not just rearrange the order. The current names don't really match well with our agreements. In addition, there are other clauses that don't really fit under the only available sections. It really limits the usefulness of the license terms area.

Add fund rules fields to Tools>Excel export in Funds and Ledgers search results screen
Support have confirmed that it's not possible for an Alma user to access reporting on the fund rules fields e.g. over expenditure allowed, over-expenditure limit etc.
They suggest the quickest way to achieve this would be to add these fields as columns to the Tools>Excel export function in the fund and ledger search results screen.

Re-assign a SUSHI 5 account
Suppose you assign a COUNTER 5 SUSHI account for a specific vendor. You discover later that the SUSHI account should be set to a different vendor. You delete your vendor account and remove the SUSHI account. When you try to assign the SUSHI account to the correct vendor, you get an error message. The SUSHI job runs for the account regardless of whether or not it is on the correct vendor record. Please make it possible to re-assign a SUSHI account to a vendor record when you make a mistake.

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…

The customer prefers the option of Manual packaging could be modified when the POL is on auto packaging or manual packaging status
The customer perfers the option of Manual packaging could be modified when the POL is on auto packaging or manual packaging status.
We have suggested the customer to cancel the POL then reopen it to change the status to in Review status, so they could modify the Manual packaging option. But the customer said it would be more convenient if the option could be modified directly before the POL was packaged.

Currently the shopping cart, indicating order/s, is green. It would be helpful if all the orders were cancelled or closed if the cart were another color, say red. If the order or even 1 order of may are active then the green cart.

Configure issues to appear in chronological order rather than alphabetical order for recieving
For titles (especially newspapers but some others) that don't have a volume number, ALMA lists them in alphabetical rather than chronological order when receiving new issues. This is highly inconvenient as well as illogical. It means clicking through page after page of issues for newspapers, which are predicted a year out. Surely there must be some way to arrange them chronologically? If not, then it would be helpful if ALMA could show more than twenty results per page.

Add the Amount Paid in Current FP field to invoicing
Presently there is a field which displays in the PO Line Summary for continuous orders which details how much has been spent on that PO line in the current financial year - useful for items which are subscriptions but paid for individually, such as Law looseleaf subscriptions. If this field could appear when entering an invoice on the Invoice Line Details that would be a great help in deciding whether to disencumber these orders, particulary towards the end of the financial year.

Linking of licence amendments back to the main licence.
Licence records link really well to their amendments - from within the licence record there is an amendment tab and you can link straight through to the amendment.
If you're looking at the amendment record the only way to get back to the base licence is from the search results screen by going to base instead of edit.
It would be really good to have a base tab in the amendment record similar to the amendment tab that already exists in the base licence record.

Add other participants to trial after initial trial email is sent
There is only one opportunity to send out a "participate in trial' email. This means that although it is possible to add a participant to the trial, no email is sent out to this person if the initial trial email has been sent.
