I highly support this case, but also with respect to Electronic Collections: There are several scenarios where more than one "main"-order per Electronic Collection is desirable. E.g., one does not want to generate a new Electronic Collection for every additional purchase from the same respective vendor/provider:
Assume I purchase a customized journal backfile package - consisting of 10 journals - from a publisher. Hence, I make an Electronic Collection, assign the relevant portfolios to it, order it with "Electronic Collection - One Time" and process through the activation workflow. Well, so far I'm ok.
Assume further some months later I purchase another customized journal backfile package from the very same publisher - consisting of 5 journals. I do not want to make an additional Electronic Collection to handle this second purchase - I want to manage it through the previously added Electronic Collection since license terms, publisher/vendor, interface and so on are the same and I don't want two or more Electronic Collections for the journal backfile purchases from one and the same vendor.Now I just cannot make a second order from the original Electronic Collection (just an additional order - which excludes the relevant Purchase types such as "Electronic Collection - One Time").
Order without inventory seems the evident solution, but again the Purchase types are too limited here. Basically, we would need the Purchase types
Electronic Collection – One Time
Electronic Collection – Subscription
Electronic Journal – One Time
Electronic Journal – Subscription
Electronic Book – Standing Order
Electronic Book – Subscription
Electronic Title – One Time
Electronic Title – Standing Order
Electronic Title – Subscriptionfor Order without inventory option!

I mean, the preferred solution for us would be an increase of Additional order types as described by Katie, but if this is not possible an increase of order types for Orders without inventory (as discribed below) would be great, too.
