Proposal UB Leipzig and SLUB Dresden

General Description additional functions

• It is proposed to enable a batch functionality for creating/sending orders - beyond EDI
• The batch is initiated by a schedule, which is defined in the App Organisations for each sending method - according to EDI
• The batch consists of the following methods, which are configured in the "Integration details" in the App Organisations 
  See: /wiki/spaces/~hohmann/pages/3572355
• method E-mail: 
• An individually defined e-mail text is created
• The order information is created as text according to the configuration and the defined layout
• An e-mail is created and sent
  See: /wiki/spaces/~hohmann/pages/3572421
  
• method Postal:
• The orders are created as PDF file according to to the configuration and the defined layout
• The PDF files are saved in a specific directory/folder
  See: /wiki/spaces/~hohmann/pages/3572385
• method EDI
• The orders are sent via EDI
• For an efficient configuration, it should be possible to define default-configurations according to “Order templates”
• After the batch is finished, the checkbox “Sent” is activated in the order, when it was successfully sent or saved
• Aim: prevent another sending of the order
  See: /wiki/spaces/~hohmann/pages/3572379
• If an order could not be sent, the checkbox “Sent” is not activated in the order and one of the following information messages should occur: 
• When no e-mail address is available in the vendor information, the order is not send and an information message occurs:
  “One or more orders could not be send because of missing e-mail address”
• When no sending order method is assigned, the order is not send and an information message occurs:
  “One or more orders could not be send because of missing sending order method”
• The concerned orders are then identifiable, and can be corrected or adjusted
• DISCUSSION: A sending error log could be be implemented
• It must be decided, if this is a FOLIO-function, a server-function or another function
• It must be decided, if this is a order-specific function or a general FOLIO-function
