Purchase request conversion into a resource sharing request
It would be good if it was possible to convert a purchase request into a resource sharing request on Alma. This might arise in circumstances where the user has originally requested a purchase request for a journal article on Primo. It would be useful if this purchase request could be converted into an ILL request simply without having to re-key in the information

This is very much needed - especially because it's possible to convert from resource sharing to purchase request.

This would be very useful, is it on the roadmap?

Of course ! It is already possible to convert a resource sharing request to a purchase request. The reverse should also be possible.

Very useful indeed. It is already possible to convert a resource sharing request into a purchase request, it should be just as possible the other way round!

If we could at least add detailed responses in the Reject email...

There would be a need to account for user declaring that the request is within copyright limitations. Or someway to include a link in the rejection letter so that the user can then submit a resource sharing request and tick the © check box.

Simple and super useful, this gets my vote!

OK, it's 2021 and has this been done yet?

Yes please. This would be really helpful to us. We cannot specify a publication date range for when a purchase request link should be shown instead of a resource sharing request. This would help us streamline the process for customers, if for whatever reason we are unable to purchase.
