Description Aleisha Amohia 2024-08-07 00:09:10 UTC
It would be useful for some libraries to be able to manually set a suggestion as Available after it has been ordered.

Hi Aleisha, can you explain the use case a bit? At the moment the status "Available" is set once the item has been received. Why would you want to make it Available before that step?
Comment 3 Aleisha Amohia 2024-08-07 19:13:52 UTC
My test plan probably wasn't appropriate now that I think about it!

The use case here is if the library creates the order and forgets to link it to a suggestion.

Just wondering one more thing, maybe as an addition to the test plan: is the AVAILABLE notice still sent out if the status is changed manually?
