Out-of-Print book availability
One of the more frustrating aspects currently when selectors order back titles is that the titles frequently end up unfulfilled. When ordered in a competitor's system these titles would have been sourced through a rather robust out-of-print network of vendors that ensured availability for these back titles (such as Alibris or Abebooks). It would be great to see such a service incorporated in Rialto so that these titles do not go from ordered>>back ordered>>backorder duration reached, order canceled.

Add vendor account information to the EDI file
Currently, EDI files for Rialto do not include the vendor account information, requiring us to manually enter this information for each invoice. This requires numerous extra clicks in order to close invoices. Per Alma's documentation, this information can be automatically populated using the RFF+API input field. We would like the EDI configuration updated to include this field.

Have the amount listed as "freight" on PDF invoices map to "shipping" by default instead of "overhead." This would be clearer for Analytics.

Add to facet the shipped to customer order status
It would be useful to filter to the "Shipped to Customer" order status when viewing the order history search results. Right now, I need to click on each record to view the shipped info.

Remember Configure DDA settings
If possible, it would be good if a default settings could be remembered for the 'Configure DDA' (i.e. remember ordering library and fund code), so you don't have to keep configuring it if adding titles using the same library/fund.

Allow Super Selectors to duplicate order templates
The Super Selector role can create order templates. Super Selectors should also be able to duplicate order templates to save time in creating their own since order templates often share many of the same field entries.

Field tag: "Part of Series" - change to - "SERIES:"
Title Details --> Details --> RE-WORD: "Part of a series" to SERIES: we scan title info and check for series info and the series does not stand out as prominently as it could.

Have more control over the Shelving Library/Location drop down list
Currently the Shelving Library/Location drop down list cannot be changed and it appears to be in order of when a library was created in Alma.
We would prefer the order to be either:
-alphabetical order
-alphabetical order, with the logged in users home library at the top (as is the order when placing requests in Alma fulfillment).
This would make it easier for selectors to find the library they want to order for.We would also like the ability to exclude libraries from this list. Currently our eResources library displays.
16 votesWe will take a look at the out-of-order library list in Shelving Library/Location. This appears to be a defect--in the future you can report these to Support directly if you'd like.
Regarding hiding libraries, you can scope your user roles to the relevant ordering library/libraries and it will only show libraries and locations that that ordering library has "Acquire For" relationships with.

Hide vendor notes from selectors
Remove the ability for selector roles to be able to add vendor notes, as this can delay orders and notes tend to be added by approvers.

Reporting code selection
After the March update, we are seeing a drop down with radio buttons for the reporting code field. You must select the reporting code and then click off of the drop down in order for the drop down to disappear. This is not efficient when working through the orders. Since this is new behavior implemented by the Rialto developers, we would like to have the ability to disable this feature and regress back to the original behavior which is being able to select recently used or selecting the code then having the drop down disappear after the selection.

Unassign Order in "Orders Awaiting Approval" when the whom the title is assigned is unavailable.
As a manager, I would like to be able to "unassign" orders that are assigned to staff. If there is a question with an order which stops the processing of it, and the staff person becomes unavailable, no one else can "Approve" the order. Currently it appears that only person who the title is assigned can unassign the order, is the person whom it is assigned.

Ability to configure purchase forms in Alma
Add the ability to configure the purchase forms used in the cart by selectors.
At the moment you can change what fields are viewed as default by your institution but they can be reselected by an individual user creating their own view.
For example we do not use item policy and we do not want all users being able to send notes to vendors from this form.

Cart Templates - make sorting sticky or create facets in left menu that can be saved
The "Sort by" function for Cart Templates is not sticky and the only options for sorting are Creation date (the default) and Name. Once you've navigated away it reverts back to Sort by: Creation date. I'd like to see either facets or additional sorting options and to make the sort option sticky.

Display fund amount in cart and error message if insufficient funds
Currently, selectors are able to submit orders for approval while using funds with insufficient funds (regardless of the overencumbrance being set to yes, no, or limitless). The selector will not see an error message saying that the funds are insufficient for the title.
We would like an option for the available funds to be made visible for the approver when they select the fund, with an error message being triggered upon checkout. Alternatively, it shouldn't be possible to send for approval with an insufficient fund

Cart Templates--Approval search
Templates are searchable when ordering titles but they are not searchable once in the approval queue. For instances where a template would be useful and there are many templates to search through it would be great to be able to search the templates in the approval area as well.

A pause purchasing function
When acquisitions wanted to implement fiscal roll over, there was a challenge ensuring that no additional orders were submitted. A "pause purchasing" option would greatly help administrators in those few days of fiscal roll over.

Override call number in Analytics
We would like the "override call number" to be a value in Analytics so that we can report on any order that has been submitted with an override call number.

Use email address to search interested user field
When adding an interested user to the cart, allow for searching by email address. This will better help distinguish users who may have a common, shared name.
