Purchase requests on network records
When a purchase request is made in Primo VE from a record that belongs to the network, the purchase request shows error when clicking on Approve and order: Failed to create order.
It should be possible to create purchase requests on records belonging to the network. The purchase request should be created in the IZ level and be managed there. The corresponding order, if the request is approved - should also be managed in the IZ level.

Dear All,
This is to inform you that this idea was implemented in Alma May 2025 Release:
When ordering in Primo from the Network Zone (NZ), the purchase requests created in the Institution Zone (IZ) are now linked to the bibliographic record in the Network. Alma first checks for a local MMS ID linked to the bibliographic record in the Network. If such a record exists, Alma uses it for the purchase request. If it doesn't exist, Alma creates one and uses it.
Thanks,
