Acquisitions <> Inventory

The following is a brief summary of the conclusions drawn in our Acquisitions <> Inventory discussion. Please comment on any discrepancies.

• For V.1 any order will have a corresponding Instance and Holding in inventory
• If the order is for an eBook (or other electronic resource), then there will be an instance, plus a holdings record (with URL, location, call number), but no item record
• All physical items will have a corresponding "item record” in inventory
• Inventory item status representing On Order, Receiving and Fulfilled. Will be updated in inventory by acquisitions modules using inventory's APIs
• This assertion may change closer to implementation as the development teams define a best practice. (Inventory modules may check and update the item statuses themselves)

The details of this integration will remain in the following working document until we are ready to begin implementation. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1gmRHCDhcdPgzsT1-CSrGDW0Jekpw2iuSV7FWa-izq5I/edit#gid=1798336802
