We have an issue with acquisition when it comes to continuous orders. If we change a vendor for a given POL, the data previously entered for the grace period and the reclaim interval disappears. They are replaced by the default value from the vendor.

This can be quite a serious issue when changing vendors for many POLs at once, which happens from time to time.

It would be much more efficient to keep the grace period and the reclaim interval for the POL, as it's linked to the serial publication interval.Grace period and claim interval depends on title periodicity.

The advantage of adding this information at the POL level and not at the supplier level is to include periodicity information for reclamations. Even if a supplier changes, title periodicity generally remains the same.

Ex Libris should add a setting to allow customers to keep these information in some POL.
