Dear colleagues,
Thanks you for suggesting this idea.
After reading it carefully, my understanding is that the need is for a new “entity” which will serve as a “bridge” between encumbrance and expenditure. This bridge will be named “Pending invoices”.
Any POL which is invoiced will be disencumbered and the amount will be added to the “pending invoices balance”. When an invoice is approved, the amount should be reduced from the “pending invoices balance” and added as an expenditure.
- Is this understanding correct?
- Do you think that the definition of using this "bridge" should be in institution level, or might be different from invoice to invoice?
Please note that this is a complicated addition. We will need to define the behavior in rollover, and in any place that changes balances etc.
Thanks for your collaboration,

This would be really useful functionality. At the moment we use rapido borrowing request mediation rules to alert us to requests from specific patrons who have very overdue ILL requests, and we then cancel any new ILL requests from those patrons. It would be better if those patrons could be blocked so they can't place requests in the first place.
