1 Acquisitions Purchase Order and other Interface Improvements
2 ============================================================
7 The following features, which primarily affect the user interface layer,
8 improve Acquisitions work flows.
10 * Avoid double-activation of POs
11 * Disable invoice and cancel options for pending POs
12 * Disable zero-copy checkbox for activated POs
13 * Disable new charges for activated POs
14 * Replace "Shelving Location" with Copy Location
16 * Rearranging "actions" drop-down
17 ** More consitency in actions applying to selected lineitems specifically
18 ** Things moved from the per-lineitem dropdown to the main one when
20 ** Add to PO dialog added
21 ** You can no longer add lineitems to a PO if they're already on one.
22 ** Actions in dropdown now enabled/disabled differently depending on
23 the interface where it appears (PO vs Selection List vs Acq Search etc.)
25 * Batch update for line items
26 ** Apply updates to all copies of all selected line items at once
27 ** Relies on a middle layer method that streams back information that
28 would suit a more asynchronous display in the future (rather than
29 simply reloading the page upon success, which it does now)
30 ** For failure cases, specific information about which line item cannot
31 be updated, and why, is available to the client, although taking
32 best advantage of this information for user-friendly display is left
