Description Andrew Fuerste-Henry 2020-01-17 14:57:03 UTC
From detail.pl, when attempting to delete a bib that is connected to any uncanceled orders in acquisitions, we receive the message: "Warning: This record is used in X order(s). Deleting it could cause serious issues on acquisition module. Are you sure you want to delete this record?"

This message would be more helpful if it distinguished between open and closed orders. Deleting a bib connected to an open order will cause serious issues. Deleting a bib connected to closed orders will not.

I see three possible fixes:
- Change the message to specify "This record is used in X open order(s) and Y closed order(s). Deleting a record used in open orders could cause serious issues ..."
- Change the message to only appear if the bib is used in orders connected to an active budget and give a count of only orders connected to an active budget.
- Complete bug 16872 to entirely block the deletion of bibs in open orders, then remove this warning. If we're not allowing the deletion of bibs from open orders, then it's not a big deal.

I am ok with the first and last suggestion, but in doubt about the 'only in active budgets'. Sometimes libraries may mark a budget form last year inactive and change the budget on receiving the item. I think differentiating between open and closed would work well enough.

+1 for Katrin, that's extactly our workflow, we change budget only on receipt.
