 :06  FOLIO Acquisitions Orchid Release Highlights  Joe Reimers
  • Orchid Highlights
    • Joe demonstrated the changes in FOLIO. 
    • Allow user to edit the fund distribution(s) of an open order with related
      invoice(s)
      • Lisa Smith - Mich State 12:08 PM
        This is great for us, when we need to update funds on standing orders.


      • Sara Colglazier (MHC/5C)  to  Everyone 12:09 PM
        But whatever the 1st invoice was paid from/on will remain in effect, right?
        In other words, the fund change is only for going forward?

      • Dennis: Correct
    • Allow user to edit the fund distribution(s) of an open order with related invoice(s)
    • Allow user to rollover the "cash balance' of budgets
    • Display the history of edits for the order and order line
      • The information that has been changed is high lighted yellow. 
      • You will see what was changed, when, and by whom. 
    • Set default of "find or Create" holdings for orders created via API
    • Implement data consistency Piece →Item
    • Inventory browse UX refactor
  • :19 in recording: Dennis demonstrated data consistency between piece and item.
    • All changes are one way, towards the item. 
  • Martina Schildt 12:26 PM
    These are valuable improvements. Thank you!
:27Record deletionDennis
  • Questions coming from architect people that are looking into record deletions. 
  • In the past looked at some of the different workflows associated with a purchase order and what we expect to happen if someone tries to delete an item record or instance. 
  • If the status of the order is closed, should it be possible to delete those item records? Are there scenarios where you would want to delete the item records?
    • Dung-Lan - Also the payment history. 
    • Lisa Smith - Mich State 12:30 PM
      Yes - if the item was being withdrawn.


    • Sara Colglazier (MHC/5C) 12:30 PM
      Yes, +1 to Lisa and one needs to keep the Order & Invoice

    • Julie Stauffer 12:31 PM
      yes -- some items have been created in error and may want to delete for clean-up purposes regardless of PO closure
    • Kimberly Smith 12:31 PM
      We need a record to remain with the financial information.  Title, amount, vendor and date have to remain for an audit trail.
    • Jackie Magagnosc 12:31 PM
      +1 Julie. It's so easy to create a record by mistake
    • Sara: Gave an example for wanting the ability to weed, deleting the inventory and items, but wanting to keep the order record to keep the history. 
    • Lisa Smith - Mich State 12:33 PM
      Whole instance deletion ability would make clean up nice!
    • Dung-Lan Chen 12:33 PM
      Yes, to get rid of order entered by error to clean up, +1 to Julie & Lisa
    • Lisa Smith - Mich State 12:35 PM
      Yes, there would be times that we want to keep the order, but no instance.
    • At the moment, the only way to remove the link between the instance and the order is to relink the Order to something else. 
    • Need to address the order connection first, then are able to delete the Instance. 
    • Sara Colglazier (MHC/5C) 12:38 PM
      Yes, notified, get a warning message


    • Lisa Smith - Mich State 12:38 PM
      A warning would be needed for sure.

  • Dennis: There is no situation where you should be allowed to delete an Instance without removing its reference or references in the Orders Application. 
    • Group agrees.
