Additional POL type options for purchase requests
Currently, when creating a POL in response to a Purchase Request, the available POL type options are limited to 'physical book' or 'electronic book'. However, we also receive purchase requests for other resources, such as DVDs, CDs, musical scores, etc.
We would like to have more PO Line type options to select from when ordering a requested item.

And when we approve a request, being asked beforehand what type of POL we want BEFORE the POL is created would make much more sense. As it stands, it's faster to just reject a request and make the POL totally from scratch, than to take the auto-created POL and run a job to change its type.

We completely agree with the need for more PO Line type options for purchase requests.
In addition, when we order physical books via purchase requests, the PO Line type is currently set to "Physical - One Time." We would prefer if it were instead set to "Print Book - One Time."
This would better align with how we categorize and manage our orders in Alma.
