Started about 10 minutes into meeting.
Impacts the interaction with ordering and inventory records. The work here will unlock possibilities with other apps.
Once we make this possible, other things like moving inventory records around becomes possible.
Might reference other features that are impacted by this.
Workflow templates shown.
Enumeration and Chronology in receiving.
Being explicit having this piece to a specific holdings. Direct connection between receiving and holdings.
Suppress something from discovery at point of receipt.
Display on holdings when there is not a connected item.
Receiving information form the app will be populated in the receiving history in inventory.
If we want to explicitly connect to holdings records, it is possible to that at the order.
Talked about how this impacts editing an order.
If pol is connected to an instance, when receiving can receive to a location and specific holdings.
Dennis: Want to discuss how editing of quantity and location has become problematic. Trying to keep receiving and order record in sync. (20 minutes after the hour)
Discuss order quantity while order is open.
Challenge: Example: Lowering from 4 to 2. Which two pieces do you want to get rid of?
Looking at models for choosing which to delete, or which to add.
Manually add pieces for receiving, then the quantity you are paying for is different than what you are receiving. If you use this, then the quantity and location can be easily edited.
Manually add pieces for receiving = false. (Box not checked) 26 minutes into recording.
Bill Verner: What is the default? Manually add or not?
Dennis: Is not customizable. Depends on what kind of pol you are creating. It is not affected by order type at the moment. The default is uncheck.
If you say it is a package, you have to use "Manually add pieces for receiving;.'
Ann-Marie: Remember templates. You can set up a template with your preference.
Bill Verner: Templates are seen by everyone, so there may be hundreds of templates.
Ann-Marie: Right now there is no search functionality or tags. Need to consider how to have a way to search across templates. That is down the road and a separate conversation.
Dennis: We have discussed having Acq units associated with templates. But the strong preference is to have the templates associated with the user.
Dennis: wants to confirm: This is a reasonable approach to editing order quantity based on you current workflows?
Dennis: Another key piece is the location.
Would this workflow, that act of receiving those things would update the po location as well, is that problematic.
Julie Stauffer: What if we need to make this change before we receive anything?
Dennis: You can change the information before anything is received.
Julie: Will we see the associated holdings affected?
Dennis: In the updates we are proposing here, when you are looking at the piece we are showing holding information.
41 minutes after: Dennis discusses/demonstrates Julie's question.
Once an order has been opened, the only way to change the quantity is in receiving.
To change the location in an open order, will be in receiving.
Dennis: Will review these workflows with the developers and see if there are any technical questions from them.
