Purpose:

When working with a third party system for cataloguing and "on order" items are imported to Inventory, those items cannot be linked to orders.  The user can only create a link between order and instance. 

Creating a link between an item and an order would give the ability to see which item had actually been created by an order

User story statement(s):

As an acquisitions librarian,
I want to associate an existing item with a piece record
So that orders and cataloging records can be created independently and related to each other after creation

Scenarios:

• Scenario 1: Select an item to pair to an order:

  • Given an item record has been created

    • And an order has been created

  • When  a users creates or edits a piece record

  • Then the user can can choose to connect the piece record to an existing item.  

• Scenario 2: Limit  items to pair by holding

  • Given a piece record needs to be attached to an existing item

  • When a user selects a holding associated with an instance 

  • Then the user will be prompted to choose which item attached to the holding to associate the piece record
