Libraries would like the ability to attach an item to an invoice *before* the item is received. When attached to an invoice, orders would go to the status "invoiced" before later being moved to status "received" when staff confirm their physical receipt and good condition. This would be especially useful for EDI ordering/receiving.

Hi Andrew, we have discussed that in the Acquisition Task force for the new acqusition module and this is one of the most wanted features in the group. Just to make sure I understand correctly: If you say "to attach an item to an invoice" you mean an order line (aqorder), not the item itself?

Correct, I mean the order line would be attached to the invoice. That order line may or may not be associated with a specific existing item in the catalog, depending on one's acq options.

We plan to have different variations / scenarios: - receiving + invoicing (like today) - receiving without invoice - invoice without receiving
