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 PO Line are often erroneously shelved in the stacks instead of remaining at the circulation desk for pickup. It would be great if we could use this checkbox, as it would greatly streamline our workflow. However, we cannot do so due to the limited elements of the feature that are currently available.
