“Creating an invoice from PO” always sets the encumbrance to zero
The use of the function “creating an invoice from PO” is essential for us. It saves a lot of work during invoice processing. The function always sets the encumbrance to zero, even if only a partial invoice has been recorded (for example: encumbrance: 300 Euro, partial invoice: 100 Euro -> disencumbrance: 300 Euro instead of 100 Euro).
Ex Libris write: "This enhancement is already on the Alma Road Map but I can't provide a date now when this will be implemented."
From our point of view, this is a mistake and should be corrected. A disencumbrance of the budget may only be made when the invoice has been closed respectively the money has been approved. This has nothing to do with how the invoice has been created (from PO or manually).
We need a fix here as soon as possible.
