Defer PO Lines with Acquisition Method "Purchase at vendor system"
The documentation on Deferring PO Lines clearly states that "you can defer any PO line except those with the Acquisition method of Approval plan or Purchase at vendor system" (https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Alma/Product_Documentation/010Alma_Online_Help_(English)/020Acquisitions/050Deferrals/010Deferring_PO_Line_Workflow).
We would like to be able to defer PO lines with the Acquisition method of Purchase at vendor system. We have many PO lines with this Acquisition method that are only paid every few years, i.e. 5-year hosting fees. The ability to defer PO lines with this Acquisition method would allow us to clear encumbrances for the unaffected years and release those funds for other uses.

It also makes no sense that we can defer the Acquisiton Methods "gift" and "technical" but not be able to defer "purchase at vendory system"
