Discuss additional use cases for canceling orders
Dennis
Hoping to collect use cases where you may decide to cancel an order (firm orders, ongoing, etc.)
Item not published
Not available from particular supplier / changing supplier / supplier contacted to say they have cancelled
e.g. out of stock, cannot supply, etc.
Ongoing order and publication has ceased being published
Budgets have been cut and cannot maintain
Had something on order and then get on approval and cancel because an extra copy is not desired
From Dung-Lan Chen to Everyone 12:12 PM It's probably makes sense to talk about cancellations separately for one-time (firm) and ongoing (continuations) orders as the process involves different actions/workflows for each type.
From Julie Brannon (she/her) to Everyone 12:12 PM Here are the list of order closure reasons in Settings > Orders: Cancelled Ceased Complete Lack of funds Lack of use Licensing terms (unacceptable) Low quality Merged with another title Split into other titles Title is out of print Title received as a gift Title won’t be published Title won’t be published this year Transferred to another publisher Unpreferred format Unresponsive vendor
Dennis: Seem like you would be cancelling before they are fulfilled?
Usually firm order is cancelled before we receive material
What are scenarios where order would be partially fulfilled?
Rare for firm orders
Very common for an order to exist for decades and then cancel
Distinction between cancelled order and closed:
Ceased not really treated as cancelled because we are not actively choosing to not include in the collection.
Cancelling may be because we cannot afford, etc.
From Jackie Magagnosc to Everyone 12:14 PM What about a title that is expected to be a multi vol where the second (third, etc.) volume isn’t published?
Kristin: You mention that last time we talked about cancelling titles vs. order. Not sure understood what was meant.
Talking about this in the context of FOLIO made it a little more difficult. Want to focus more on broader situations, not take into context how FOLIO functions at the moment, but talk about real world examples.
Sara: Distinction needs to be made if we are talking about order/POLs. On order with multiple POLs, have to be able to differentiate between closing the POLs and closing the order.
Dennis: Thing that makes cancelling the order difficult is that you could have multiple lines. Other factors: is it paid and is it received. Want to talk about cancelling partially fulfilled orders. What are the expectations when you cancel an order that is partially paid? Are you considering the payment now cancelled?
Sara: You would want to release any remaining encumbrance for sure.
Thinking about ERM and agreements. You can close an agreement. You can cancel and give a reason. Three basic things: closes automatically, vendor cancelled (+sub reasons for why), library cancelled (+sub reasons for why). Let us decide in settings what our sub reasons for closure or cancelling need to be. Libraries who need to track in detail can use these and libraries who do not need as much detail can use three high level triggers. Rather than
