Description Eric P626 2012-06-21 14:48:17 UTC
Can it be possible to add an option in AcqCreateItem so that no Item gets created during the whole acquisition process.

Our problem is that we are ordering books for other department. Since we do not keep track of the items for their department, it means that we would have to destroy the item everytime we place an order.

And there are things that we orders that are disposable. For example we order test many times which are disposed after use.

I think a solution easy to implement would be to add an option to remove automatic item creation.

Then later, if you can make this option library location specific, it could be even better. We made another library for all document orders which does not belong to us. So if we could configure each library separately, our books will create items, and other department books won't.

I think if you choose "in cataloging" no items will be created in acquisitions.

True. My Error, Probably I made the test in an older version because I remember seeing the item fields below the catalog entry fields. Now I made the test with every method possible and it does not create the item.

Thanks for the info.
