Current default behaviour is to use the filename of the QUOTE in the basketname. This would instead use the buyer's purchase order number (segment RFF with a qualifier ON) instead so that this would be searchable. This should be optional as even when supplied many (most) sites do not have meaningful or distinctive data in the field (e.g. 'Books for branch X'). Logical is to add it as a vendor option
We would support this. We have recently started using EDI and one of the issues is not being able to see the basket name from the vendor in Koha. We enter a basket name on the vendor site based on site/date etc so we can tell from the basket name which site the order was placed for and the date. The quote in Koha only shows the file name. When we confirm the order, the actual order sent back to the vendor uses the Koha OrderID as the basket name. So we end up with 3 different references depending if it is a quote or order and whether you look in the vendor system or Koha so not easy to cross-check between the vendor and Koha. Ideally we would want to retain the vendor basketID in the Quote seen in Koha (or at least be able to see/search sort by this). It would also be useful to be able to use this as the basis for the orderID sent back to the vendor though it needs to be unique so would need koha to add some suffix to the order & quote don't have exactly the same refence on the vendor system
We also support this and would like to see this happen to automate the process and allow file names to be used for different purposes. Although, ideally, we'd want to see the order reference added in as the basket ID as opposed to the basket name.
