Preset item policy for subscription PO Lines
Having the ability to set an item policy for a subscription PO Line would save time and trouble. Currently, when a serials item is received (checked in), one must go into the individual item record to set the item policy. Too many clicks. Also, if someone else is checking in serials, they might forget about this additional step. If someone tries to check out an item, will the person at circulation know that it is in-library use only, 3-day use or 14-day use?

I'm surprised that, 6 years later, ExL hasn't implemented this. Using the Continuous tab to receive new serial issues is a great tool, but it *still* doesn't fill in the item policy. I can add everything else, but when I'm done I have to go into the item *again* to set it. If I remember that extra step and also remember what the policy is. We use a few kinds, so too often I have to open another item, see what the policy is, *then* go back into the item I just received, fill in the field and save.
This defeats the whole point of the Receiving - Continuous tab and none of my colleagues use it. They all search for the serial PO and receive issues manually so they can add all the info at once.
