Use Cases & Requirements:

RequirementStatusUse cases

PENDING

User will "Check" in inventory to see if there is an instance already. In some cases the instance lookup does not show enough information to allow the user to identify the correct instance. 

PENDING

  • For e-journal often there will already be a record because we have access but not necessarily a subscription.
  • Workflow begins with loading a record from OCLC. User then has to copy the HRID and move to orders and search again for the same record.

PENDING

When adding titles to a package POL we also start in inventory as we have the same problem identifying instances
Allow user to add POL to open order

PENDING

With memberships and other mini bundles it would be ideal to be able to add POLs while the order is in the Open state
When creating order from inventory user should be taken back to Inventory app search after clicking "Save and close"

PENDING

  • User is creating multiple orders at a time
  • Broke up a large order deal and needed to create many individual orders to replace it
  • Selector provides multiple titles that they want to acquire
  • User creates one order at a time if at all possible. Needing to go back to an order and review it is time consuming (Transition cost) so generally user would create and open order before moving to the next title
When starting from inventory the order creation workflow should allow users to fill/edit any desired fields

PENDING

There will be orders for which we want to add specific notes after order creation


Workflow required to create PO from Instance

Option 1

Click "New Order" action in Instance action menu

User arrives at purchase order create form with the following fields populated

  • None
  • Potentially the Template name says "Create from instance" or the instance name Eg. Global Africa. Do NOT use template in this process as user will need template in combination with instance information.
    • If template included title info the source instance would override that info. Most important thing is that the POL is ultimately linked to the instance we came from.

 

User completes required PO fields and saves PO

Order is created as pending

User DOES NOT need to click Add POL. The create POL form is opened automatically after user clicks save and close Purchase order.

  • Bibliographic data will follow what connecting instance to POL currently populates in POL. 

Save and close to dismiss edit for and the purchase order line is displayed in the third pane view

NOTE IF user decides to add additional POLs to this PO. The title information would be populate according to the Template as usual, if it contains title information.


Option 2

User must have create order permissions to see action

User clicks "New Order" action in Instance action menu

User is shown "Create order" modal and is able to choose an existing order

If no PO number selected the user is shown the create PO form

 

User clicks "Add POL" instead of "Save and close" because they are taken directly to the create POL form

After Saving the user arrives back in Inventory app

Multi line order

User must have create order permissions to see action

User must select one or more instance records

User clicks "New Order" action in result list action menu

User is shown "Create order" modal and is able to choose an existing order

After Saving the user arrives back in Inventory app
