Quesnalia Documentation Preview

Molly Driscoll

  • Quesnalia Documentation Preview - will go live in documentation once Quesnalia is released.

  • Acquisitions - Additional topics - Orders Status

    • What is workflow status and why is it significant?

    • Which fields are editable when an order is open?

    • How does FOLIO know when to close an order as ‘Complete’?

  • Sara Colglazier 12:12 PM
    Or, maybe could you also pin the link to the slack channel?

    • Can share it through Slack and share once published.

  • May be delaying Quesnalia by about a week or two.

  • The calendar hasn't been updated yet, but the GA should have been yesterday: https://folio-org.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/REL/pages/5210714/Quesnelia+R1+2024

Quesnalia Release Highlights

Dennis Bridges / Joe Reimers

  • Update to structure of release notes in FOLIO wiki.

    • For Quesnalia release - series of wiki pages focused on different aspects of the release.

  • UXPROD-4321 - Replace AllOrNothing mechanism to update all transactions for order/invoice in single operation

    • Way transactions are processed in Quesnalia is different

    • Refactored logic used to create transactions against budgets in FOLIO

    • No longer possible to partially approve an invoice or partially open an order - no longer possible to have a failure in the operations that results in a transaction being created anyways.

    • Approval will be much faster and reliability will be much better

    • Impacts APIs - endpoints will be deprecated and replaced by a single endpoint

  • ~:20 - UXPROD-4626 - Update new field in inventory Item with Piece “Display Summary” field data

    • Added field labeled “Display summary” - repurposed field in receiving. New field added to enumeration data accordion on item record.

    • Contents of display summary from piece are added to contents of display summary in item record

    • More meaningful integration with serials management

    • Molly Driscoll 12:23 PM
      If display summary is included on an item record, is it incorporated into the effective call number for the item like enumeration and chronology are?

      • Dennis Bridges 12:35 PM
        Yes indeed it is
        It is also exported via data export or RtAC

    • Sara Colglazier 12:24 PM
      Sorry if I missed it, but what does "on the spin" mean?

      • Should be “on the spine”

  • ~:24 - Allow independent acquisitions unit for ordering and receiving

    • Allow user to set unique acquisition unit for receiving record

    • Don’t have to have same acquisition units that manage ordering and receiving

  • ~:26 - UXPROD-1845 - Claiming unreceived or unreceivable items workflow

    • Initial iteration. - No automated receiving associated with this yet.

    • Provided additional statuses for piece record that indicate that a piece is late.

    • Transition of status is managed by system.

    • One piece has exceeded expected receipt date by interval determined by title that piece is associated with - set to status of late. (12 PM according to system time zone setting).

    • Can delay a claim and set a new interval.

    • Can send a claim and indicate an interval associated with claim sent.

    • Within a piece record there is a status log.

    • Allows you to keep track of what is happening with a given piece.

    • Ultimate status will be received or unreceivable (separate accordion).

    • Can filter by statuses and export all of the data to CSV if desired.

    • Susanne Gill (BVB) 12:30 PM
      Claim is sent via?

      • ~:40 - Can get claiming information from export. Currently no automated claiming. EDIFACT and email as future possibilities.

  • ~:30 - UXPROD-4510 - Restrict fund use by location

    • Enabled multi-select location modal

    • e.g. - rare books fund

    • Allows you to pair funds and locations - only locations available to that fund or only valid funds based on location in POL

  • ~:33 - Manage donor information within FOLIO

    • Added donor as an organization type

    • Privileged donor information accordion - separately privileged allows you to keep track of more sensitive donor information

    • Once an organization has been defined as a donor have also updated funds and POLs to assign donors within records

    • Deprecated donor box in POLs.

      • Molly Driscoll 12:36 PM
        Will values from the free-text field being deprecated need to be moved to the new accordion or will that field be preserved/searchable, just no longer editable?

      • Will be deleted some time in 2025. Currently no longer editable. Can’t easily transfer one to the other because it is a free-text field.

  • ~:36 - UXPROD-4406 - Ability to login via SSO with ECS enabled

Quesnalia Release Highlights - Discussion/Questions

Dennis Bridges / Joe Reimers

  • ~:42 - Would like to see integration of claiming with dashboard

  • Scott Perry (UChicago) 12:39 PM
    Is there a release for integration of donor with inventory?

    • Handed off to inventory POs - they are aware of it; will happen when they are able to work on it

  • Kristin Martin 12:43 PM
    What does "unreceivable" mean?

    • Dennis Bridges 12:44 PM
      Essentially this is a way to indicate that you never expect to receive this piece. Maybe out of print etc.

  • Molly Driscoll 12:43 PM
    Would also be great to see claiming integrate with Bulk edit to update piece status in bulk across receiving titles.

  • Big release for acquisitions

  • ~:47 - Ability to manually unrelease encumbrances

  • Permissions for view only for a few different areas of settings (e.g. Invoice settings, Finance settings)

  • Quality of life and performance updates

Implementer’s Topics 124

Dung-Lan Chen

  • Multiple POLs for POs, a lot to update

  • Should be able to get a story created with this detail.

  • FOLIO could just ask - do you want to update the material supplier in related POLs?

  • Molly Driscoll 12:54 PM
    Access provider for e-materials

  • Aaron Neslin - in theory you could have an access provider and a material supplier on the same PO

  • Select options from drop-down in a modal.

  • Kristin Martin - Sounds like they are using Material Supplier as a workaround for not seeing vendor in POL. Maybe solution is to see vendor in Header or somewhere else.

    • Sara Colglazier 12:59 PM
      I would love to have it at the top!
