  • Implementers Topics #170 "Include Link in Voucher"

    • Aaron Neslin  

    • Amherst College current workflow for invoice includes sending a PDF of the invoice to the business office.  Currently they include the invoice as a Document on the invoice.  They would like to move to using Voucher Export to send a pdf of the vendor invoice to the business office.  An acceptable solution would be to include Links from the invoice in the voucher.  This would allow them to deposit the vouchers in a Google Drive and include a link to the vendor invoice with the FOLIO Voucher export

  • Implementers Topics # 171 "Mutually exclusive invoice adjustments"

    • Dennis Bridges

    • Currently invoice adjustments are mutually exclusive in that they have an impact on the sub total amount, based on relation to total, rather than the sub-total + any other adjustments. However, now that "Included in" is posible from the invoice level and it updates the sub-total amount this logic needs to be reviewed. Should adjustments now "stack" on each other regardless of relation to total or are they more manageable in their current state?

  • Review and discuss "Date ordered" behavior when user unopen and reopen orders. Dennis will work on a story for the approval date that we can approve as a group. 8/24

  • Discuss the ability to export country as name rather then code in the voucher export. Defer topic till December.

  • Vouchers batch export question:  I've noticed that Invoice Date is not included in the invoice voucher file generated by the batch export process. That data element is expected by Duke's AP system. A voucher date is included on the file, but the voucher date and invoice date will not likely be the same.  https://folio-org.atlassian.net/wiki/x/bBgb

  • Discussion on the note app functionality in Acq
