"Buy it Now" option in Selection Plan
We received a request for purchase from a patron for an ebook which is in our current batch of selection plan titles in review so if we do nothing it will ship, which is fine.
My question is on the Purchase title button. I had hoped that this would act as a Buy It Now option such that with a click, Rialto would deliver immediately, the selection plan profiled "copy" of the book.
However, It seems that Purchase Title simply moves the order to the firm order workflow, thus requiring manual (or template) entry of the ordering library, fund, report code etc.
Ideally, clicking Purchase Title from the list of profiled selection plan titles would deliver the book with the selection plan order details in place in terms of ordering library, shelving library (for print), fund (RSP) and report code (approval),
I understand it's probably a software limitation preventing sending a selection plan title immediately rather than keeping it with the batch of profiled titles to send in bulk after the review period, but if there was a way to Send it Now or Buy It Now with the selection plan order details that would be fantastic.

We added a "Buy it now" capability to Rialto this year, we're calling it "Finalize Snapshot." See the release notes below:
