Created attachment 19207 [details] [review] Receive shipment link in acquisitions main page To add some shortcuts to acquisitions main screen e.g. RECEIVE SHIPMENT and the FILTER BOX Test plan: 1) Click on Receive shipment link on the left hand side. 2) It will give all the vendor list click on recieve shipment link to receive items. 3) For creating new basket click on "New Basket" link.
Hi Amit, I am not sure how this link is a shortcut to the current behaviour? Searching for the vendor for example by sending an empty search and then clicking the receive shipment link there? To me it seems to just reverse the order of things.

I agree with Katrin -- simply adding a link to /cgi-bin/koha/acqui/booksellers.pl (though I'm not sure about calling the link 'Receive shipments', as you can also open baskets) would also produce a list of vendors without requiring additional code. Could you or the sponsoring organization expand a bit on the motivation for this work?
The sponsoring organisation considered that the current acquisitions workflow was cumbersome and awkward. A specific example was that in order to receive items you needed to go through a number of screens and that there should be a direct link on the main acq screen. For Acquisitions depts. receiving items is as primary an activity as check out/in for circulation but on entering acquisitions there is no mention on the initial screen although there are links to less basic activities.

I still believe that this is just a reverse of steps without providing an additional benefit. More so: if you have a few hundred vendors, which especially special libraries tend to have, a simple pull down list is not ergonomic for selecting the vendor. Spinning this a little differently: Maybe we could allow to create an invoice/shipment without selecting a vendor first and pick the vendor automatically from the first order chosen? This way we might achieve what the library intended.
