  1. Replicate Voyager Alternate Vendor Search Names

    The ExLibris Voyager product allows for alternate vendor search names.

    These are extremely useful for several instances:
    1) DBA - Bob Smith dba Susan Jones Book Services
    Would like to search for both "Bob Smith" and "Susan Jones" in Vendors
    2) Company name changes - Yankee Book Peddler -> YBP -> GOBI Solutions...
    Especially helpful with a swath of generational employees who may refer to a vendor using a name that is 5, 10 or 20 years old
    3) Abbreviations - Lib. of Congress vs. Library of Congress. Or... ARL vs. Association of Research Libraries. Or... ALA vs. American Library…

  2. Use Checkboxes or Upload to select SUSHI reports to harvest

    Currently, to add SUSHI reports to harvest you have to select the report type one by one from a drop down. It would be far more efficient to use checkboxes to pick which reports to gather. Also, there is an option to Download the selected reports list, but no option to use an upload to specify the reports. An upload would be nice because most of the Journal platforms offer the same report types, so a single template file could be uploaded for most vendors.

  3. Ability to remove/hide the "Liable for VAT" checkbox from all vendor records

    Institutions that do not use VAT should be able to configure their vendor records so that the "Liable for VAT" checkbox does not appear.

  4. Show vendor name first in dropdown list instead of vendor code

    On the page of invoice details, in the vendor dropdown list, the vendor code is displayed which is quite uncomfortable as you have to remember the codes. We would like to see the vendor's name instead. Currently if you want to see the name, you have to open the menu.
