"Request" link when you have ordered a physical book
When you have ordered a physical book (one time order) it would be very helpful to get a Request link available on the Purchase order lines in Review page.
Then you could place a request more quickly. You don't have to search for the book again.

Dear all,
I'd like to update you that this idea was developed and will be part of February Release 2026.
We will add the option to place requests from PO line, in both:
Item level (row action in "Ordered Items" and in "Items in Claim" section)
Title level (PO line action)
Users will see the available request types per user privilege, the same as if the request would be placed from list of items or repository search.
Thanks you,

Same here! Both options are relevant.

Hello Zohar,
thank you for the question and from our point of view, both options would be helpful and relevant. Depending on whether we order an item because the title as such is needed or if we order a specific copy for a library user, we'd like to be able to place requests on the title level, but also for a specific item. So both, please! -

This would truly be an efficiency-enhancing measure

This request option would be very useful. At the moment you have to come out of Technical Services and go to Main Circulation Desk to make a request/reservation.
