Purpose:

In most cases when you want to open an order with a POL where  there is still an amount remaining to be distributed in the fund distribution, you probably forget to assign a fund to the POL. Therefore a prompt asking if the user wants to continue would be great.
The warning could be something like: “There is still a remaining amount to be distributed. Do you really want to open this order?”
There are (probably) a few use cases where opening a POL like that makes sense.(72)
User story statement(s):
As an acquisitions manager,
I need staff to be alerted if there is a remaining balance to be distributed on a purchase order line before opening an order
So that I can reduce the rate of errors
Scenarios:

     Scenario: Enable prompt for opening orders with one or more unassigned funds

•  

  • Given a user has permission to Order Settings

  • When the user enables Unassigned fund distribution warnings in Settings

  • Then user will be warned when opening orders with unassigned funds

• Scenario: Omit gifts from unassigned fund warnings

  • Given a user has permission to Order Settings

    • and the user has enabled Unassigned fund distribution warnings in Settings

  • When the User opts to omit gifts from warnings

  • Then when the Acquisitions method is gift there will be no warning

      Scenario: Opening an Order with a POL with a remaining unassigned cost 

•  

  • Given there is an order
      and a purchase order line is created
       and the purchase order line has an estimated price
       and there is a remaining amount of cost not assigned to a fund
       and "warn when there are unassigned funds" is enabled in settings

•  

  • When a user opens the order

  • Then the user will be prompted with a warning that there is a remaining amount to be distributed on a purchase order line

    Scenario: Navigate to a POL with an unassigned cost

•  

  • Given a  user has tried to open an order

    •  and there is a purchase order with an amount that is not distributed to a fund
