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.

sending predefined claim letter manually
There should be a possibility to send the predefined claim letter manually.
If automatic claim notification is enabled (autoclaimco = Y) then the predefined letter (or EDI-notification) is prepared and sent automatically by the corresponding alma job. It should be possible to send the same letter by
- pressing a button in the order and
- by selecting items from the claims list and press a corresponding button
The claims sent should appear in the correspondence tab with the vendor.

Add option for filename filter to vendor EDI information
One of our vendors places their EDI information in the same pickup directory that they place their EOD MARC records.
The EOD import process allows a filter to download only MARC files. A similar filter in the EDI download process would prevent errors from being triggered because the EDI process is trying to read MARC files as EDI files.

We would like an option to search vendors by address/country.
We would like an option to search vendors by address/country since many of our vendors are from other countries.
Currently, we have no way of finding all the vendors from a certain country, if it is not part of their name.2 votesHello All,

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…1 voteHello All,

Contact Information in the vendors profile
Hello,
It would be very useful if in the Vendor contact information, the "Email Address" would appear as the first address.
Also it should be marked as a "must to fill" field with red asterisk (The problem now is that when one forgets to add email address, the orders cannot be send to the vendor).
Also, currently, if you add an email address instead of the surface address, the system does not provide any alerts and the order is not being sent.Thanks.

Vendor Interface details screen-Administrative Information tab - Incident log section: More characters required
Description: Currently, the Incident Log section on the Administrative Information tab of the Vendor Interface Details screen only accepts a certain amount of characters.
We have found that you can copy and paste a great deal of information into the field. However, when you select the Save button, the number of characters entered into the field is reduced to approximately 1900. There is no notification that characters have been cut.
Can the number of characters entered into the Incident Log field be increased?
We would like to have the ability to paste large log files in that field and be…16 votesHello All,

Deactivate Vendor Records from List
Make it possible to deactivate vendor records from the vendor list by clicking on the "active" checkbox, rather than having to edit each record individually.
