Announcements from the PC

@Kristin Martin  

  • PC has been discussing need for dedicated person to create documentation

  • Harry Kaplanian will be investigating documentation needs in more detail

FOLIO Meeting Update

Current spreadsheet

What could, if any, run parallel?

Review current rankings

@Kristin Martin @Martina Tumulla

  • We need to review our proposed meetings and decide which ones can run concurrently

  • The ERM devs were meant to have a dedicated meeting, but it has been cancelled due to scheduling challenges

  • ERM/Acq/Cross-app will have a room available with 13 slots

    • 2 Acq sessions – 3 hours

    • 4 ERM sessions – 6 hours

    • App interaction is still working on priorities – potentially 2 sessions/4 hours

  • The challenge will be making sure key people from other areas can attend as needed (e.g., Charlotte Whitt, Laura Wright, Ann-Marie Breaux)

  • @Kristin Martin  will share recommendations with the PC

  • @Dennis Bridges: How should the sessions be formatted?

    • It's up to the moderator

    • PC or SIGs could offer suggestions

  • @Dennis Bridges: How many people are attending? Who is attending?

    • We're not sure

    • It would be helpful for the moderators have a sense of numbers, areas of interest

    • Can the planning group supply this info after the hotel deadline passes?

    • @Martina Tumulla will ask the planning group to do this

Invoices

@Dennis Bridges

 

  • The acquisitions small group has made some updates to the invoicing mock-ups

  • Development has started on the back end of the app, and UX will start in sprint 63

  • Dennis reviewed a set of slides showing the mock-ups and describing functionality

  • @Scott Perry : Why wouldn't the exchange rate be applied at the beginning, since the invoice will be entered in foreign currency

    • You can enter invoice amounts in whatever currency you need to

    • If you don't have an exchange rate at the point of invoice, it's retrieved at the point of approval

    • This is necessary to debit funds in local currency

  • Heather Thoele : Can we skip the review state and go straight to approved?

    • Yes

  • @Sara Colglazier : How do we support "journal vouchers?" 

    • JVs are used to exchange money between the library and other departments on campus

    • These are often used for corrections or resources paid for by external parties but managed by the library

    • Most people use dummy credit memos and invoices to represent money that comes into and out of external budgets

    • It would be nice to have a better way to represent this movement of money – but it's not super high priority.

    • The small group is talking about vouchers now – Dennis will bring this topic to them

  • @Virginia Martin : Can you navigate to an invoice by looking up a PO, then linking to invoice?

    • Right now, we'll plan to have an Invoice accordion on the PO that will display summary information about the invoice.

    • The invoice lines should also have a link back to the PO.
