UIOR-1308

Dennis Bridges

  • https://folio-org.atlassian.net/browse/UIOR-1308

  • In PO Summary you can see associated values.

  • Current layout as of Ramsons (?)

  • Ticket is for allowing users to see the sum of values for previous years via a Fiscal Year select option.

  • More relevant to libraries that operate in multiple fiscal years at once.

  • In more and more places, allowing user to look at something in the context of previous years (e.g. Groups in Finance App).

  • FOLIO UI in Acquisitions is really focused on the current fiscal year.

  • Are there other use cases where users have found that problematic?

  • Lisa Smith, Mich State 12:09 PM
    I look at this info in the attached invoices accordion and can see all payments by FY in one screen.

  • Have another story about displaying a fiscal year select at the ledger level.

  • Sara - Could be useful if Package POL in title section could be parsed by fiscal year.

  • Relate receiving title with fiscal year or keep track of what has been added within a given time period.

  • Maybe similar to Ledger fiscal year selection could use a drop-down to call up old POL data in the view.

  • Case where title could be added two years ago, but still be relevant.

    • Sara’s example is with approval plans where titles are different each year.

  • Jessica - Seeing how many fiscal years an item was open for. Will code funding if a fiscal year has passed, but doesn’t help knowing what FY that fund code is from. Update date / creation date doesn’t always give the full picture.

  • Will display Year opened field in Purchase order, which will show the fiscal year that the PO was opened.

 

Implementers Topic # 33

Dennis Bridges

  • Old topics from Duke?

  • #33 - can select multiple POLs to add as invoice lines, but no easy way to see what you are selecting.

    • Could delete the invoice lines once successfully added.

    • Would be nice to be able to preview lines. Even though you can delete things, it throws off the invoice line numbers.

    • Worth keeping the topic.

    • Seems like an added feature for multi-select in modal - probably would be helpful everywhere this is used in FOLIO.

    • App Interaction topic? Stripes?

      • Stripes probably - create it for Stripes and see what they have to say

    • Also used in adding donors to funds, users to acq units, etc.

    • Needs to be optional, don’t want to force user to review

  • Lisa Smith, Mich State 12:42 PM
    On a tangent, if POLs are ordered in a certain way, will the order be retained in the invoice record?

  • Scott Perry (UChicago) 12:43 PM
    We prefer that the POLs on the invoice match the order of the invoice.

 

Implementers Topic # 35

Dennis Bridges

  • Closed - vendor on order and invoice are now hyperlinked

Implementers Topic # 36

Dennis Bridges

  • Current behavior: If you create an invoice from the order or an invoice line from the POL, release encumbrance will be checked by default. If you are adding a blank line to the invoice, in any scenario, release encumbrance will never be checked.

  • Introducing more variation such as described in this topic would be complex.

  • Decided to close. No one voiced opinion for this approach.
