Approving or rejecting purchase suggestions
When changing the status of a purchase suggestion (pending, accepted, rejected, checked, or ordered), the suggestion will be moved to the matching tab. The status will also be updated on the patron’s account in the OPAC and an email notice will be sent to the patron using the template that matches the status you have chosen.
When reviewing ‚Pending‘ suggestions check the boxes next to the purchase suggestions you want to approve or reject and then choose the status and reason for your selection in the ‚Change selected suggestions‘ section below.
Poznámka
If your workflow requires more statuses for suggestion management, you can add more using the SUGGEST_STATUS authorized values category.

It is also possible to approve or reject suggestions one by one by clicking on the title of the suggestion to open a summary of the suggestion.
Click ‚edit‘ at the top of the suggestion detail page to open the suggestion editing page.
From there, change the status in the ‚Suggestion management‘ section and click ‚Save‘.

The ‚Accepted‘ status will trigger the ACCEPTED notice
The ‚Rejected‘ status will trigger the REJECTED notice
The ‚Ordered‘ status will trigger the ORDERED notice
Poznámka
The ‚Ordered‘ status will automatically be set when ordering from a suggestion and the corresponding notice will also be sent at that time.

Poznámka
If you add custom statuses in the SUGGEST_STATUS authorized values, you can add corresponding notices with the same names, taking care to choose the ‚Suggestions‘ module when creating the new notices.

In the ‚Bibliographic information‘ section, you can add missing information, such as the ISBN, publisher, etc. or correct wrong information provided by the patron.
This information will be used to create a bibliographic record should you order this title from the suggestion.
In the ‚Suggestion management‘ section, you can edit the status, add a reason for accepting or rejecting the suggestion, or adjust the dates if needed.
Choosing to mark a suggestion as ‚Pending‘ will move it back to the ‚Pending‘ tab.
The ‚Notify manager‘ checkbox can be used to send a notice to the staff member who previously managed the suggestion to inform them the suggestion was modified. The notice sent is NOTIFY_MANAGER notice.
In the ‚Acquisitions information‘ section, you can edit the fund, price, currency, etc.
Assigning the suggestion to a fund will trigger a notice to be sent to the fund owner to inform them that there is a suggestion ready for them to manage.
The notice_unprocessed_suggestions.pl cronjob is necessary to generate these notices.
The notice used is TO_PROCESS, it can be edited in the Notices & slips tool.

EDI process
Previous sections explain all ordering options, this section pulls out the parts related to EDI or EDIFACT ordering to help those who are only using EDI for ordering.
Poznámka
In order to use EDIFACT in Koha, the EDIFACT system preference must be enabled.
Varování
Koha uses the EDIFACT standard (EDItEUR and BiC) not the X12 standard for electronic ordering.
Setting up EDI in Koha
Before you begin ordering using EDI you will need to take the following steps:
Ask your vendor/bookseller/jobber for their connection information
It might also be beneficial to ask for a few sample EDIFACT files from the vendor
Share with your vendor/bookseller/jobber your library codes, item type codes, fund codes, and any other codes or authorized values they might need for creating your MARC order records
Communicate with your support provider or the community about whether you will need a plugin based on your vendor’s answers
For example ByWater Solutions has published plugins for specific vendors here: https://github.com/bywatersolutions/koha-plugin-edifact-enhanced
Enter the vendor/bookseller/jobber in Acquisitions
Review your Acquisitions system preferences
Be sure to fill in the MarcFieldsToOrder system preference with values for order files (see the MARC order fields section below)
Enter your EDI Accounts
Enter your Library EANs
Turn on the EDI cron so that it can process files

Ordering via EDI
The first step in ordering using EDI happens on the book vendor’s website. Each seller will use different language, but you will need to place your order on their site and then download the MARC order file. Some language that you might see included „basket“, „order“, „cart“, and/or „MARC order.“ Once you have this MARC file downloaded to your computer you will want to log in to Koha and continue the process there.
In Acquisitions create a basket for the vendor you ordered from. Add your file to the basket by ordering from a new file.
From the confirmation screen you will see all of the data in the MARC file related to your order. If you are not seeing fields such as fund and quantity filled in then be sure to confirm that your MarcFieldsToOrder preference is set right.
Once you have added all of the items to the basket you can click the ‚Create EDIFACT order‘ button.
Sending the EDIFACT order
This will generate a pending file in the EDIFACT messages in Koha.
The pending files will be processed by the EDI cron job and sent to your vendor.
Ordering via EDI with quote files
If you have Quote files enabled you can place the order on the bookseller’s website and a Quote file will be automatically generated and made available to be collected and loaded to Koha. You will see the file listed in the EDIFACT messages in Koha with a status of ‚Received‘. The basket will have been created and records and items added to the basket.
Once you have checked that the basket is correct you can click the ‚Create EDIFACT order‘ button. The process then completes as for Sending the EDIFACT order above.
EDI invoicing
When the book vendor is done processing your files they will send an invoice via EDI as well. The EDI cron job will grab invoices and mark items found in the invoice as received and update your funds without any need for manual intervention.
If you set the EdifactInvoiceImport preference to ‚Don’t‘ you can load invoice files manually.
EDIFACT messages
A log of all messages sent and received via EDIFACT can be found under EDIFACT messages.
