Description Katrin Fischer 2016-06-07 17:32:09 UTC

When renewing a serial subscription with RenewSerialAddsSuggestion set to active, an entry is added to the suggestions table in Koha. The status is "ASKED" and the biblionumber is column is set to the existing record.

But the suggestion isn't shown in the acquisition module - it cannot be found using the search options in suggestions, it doesn't show in the pending tab.

Because the status is "ASKED", there is no way to create an order for it.

When renewing the subscription, there is a note field you can fill out "for the librarian to process the order" - but this information is not stored in suggestion table and seems to be lost.

Hi Katrin

The later part of this bug (the note information being lost) is fixed by the patch I have just written for bug 7047.

The only workaround I found for seeing the suggestions was to log in as a superlibrarian and set the IndependentBranches syspref to 'Yes' and then all sysprefs were displayed.

opps that should be all suggestions are displayed.

It is now shown in the pending tab. Could you please confirm that bug 7047 fixes the problems from this bug report?
