This issue has been addressed with an update to the documentation. It seems there are two ways to delete an order. It is not recommended to re-open the basket to delete, precisely because re-closing the basket will update aqbasket.closeddate, thereby invalidating the Late Orders Report. The preferred way to cancel an order is to receive, by creating a false invoice and cancelling from there. A new section 'Cancelling an order' has been added to the Acquisitions chapter of the manual. The commit has been merged, so closing this out now. |
Created attachment 78318 [details] Screenshots of reports before date change and after The late orders report allows you to track the length of time an order has been with a supplier. If you re-open a basket in acquisitions to, for example, cancel the order of an item that cannot be supplied, then the dates in the late order report reset to the day you re-opened the basket i.e. An order that is at 90 days will reset to 1 day late. This renders the late reporting facility very inaccurate and we cannot rely on this report to track our orders.
