Add "Move to department" option for Acq departments
We would like a new option called "Move to Department" in the Receiving workbench AND in the Scan in Items form. The new option would have the effect of marking the existing Acq process as Done, and putting the item(s) in transit to the next department. Currently, if a workflow involves moving something from the Acq department to another department, such as a central End Processing unit that handles multiple libraries, the receiving staff have to perform multiple time-consuming steps. They must 1) Receive 2) Search for Physical Item 3) Create new Work Order 4) Scan in item to mark as Done. The new option would allow for batch processing of new receipts, rather than handling each item separately, which reduces productivity. Likewise in the Scan in Items form, the new option "Move to Department" would allow staff to mark something as Done at the same time as putting it in-transit to another department. Currently, staff must first search for the item to create a new Work Order for the next department, and then Scan in the Item to mark it as done. The new option would simplify this process and improve productivity.

Some similarities with another idea "Less Scan In operations" https://ideas.exlibrisgroup.com/forums/308173-alma/suggestions/14907846-less-scan-in-operations
