ACQ angular interface no longer show line item copy notes

[Steve Callender]

EG 3.10

The older ACQ Purchase Order / Line Item interface would display notes stored in the note field on the acq.lineitem_detail table that were typically imported.

This appears to be missing from the angular screens and the notes do not show. The notes are used for things such as catalog routing or other types of information that catalogers find useful so it would be nice to have that back on the screen again.

This was a great way for our selectors to let the cataloger know about special instructions when they created the order.

Confirmed this is still an issue in 3.11

The line item copy notes don't just not show, the field to enter them is missing from the Items (formerly Copies) page.

[Jennifer Pringle (jpringle-u)]

The line item worksheet is expecting to find information in this field as there is a column in the table specifically for it.

The code from the worksheet shows it's looking at [% detail.note %]

[Jennifer Pringle (jpringle-u)]

This is causing issues for our libraries who have providers sending them line item copy notes since they cannot be viewed in the staff client without clicking into the worksheet for every single line item on a purchase order to see if it has a note or going back to the dojo interface for every purchase order.

Hi -- did a little digging and exploring of this issue. Hopefully helps push this forward.

In the Dojo version, there was a notes field under the "Expand" button. This pulled any notes from the acq.lineitem_detail "note" field. (acqlid)

The old UI had a link that looked like "Notes (0)" -- this is now called "Notes and Alerts (0)" where 0 is the number of notes. This pulls notes from the acq.lineitem_note field (acqlin) and acq.lineitem_alert_text (aqliat).

I don't know why these two note fields exist and it's confusing! But the former (acqlid) is the field populated by imported order records. On my journey I found the import process happens in a database function which uses the configured holdings fields for the provider.

To restore the previous functionality in the simplest way possible, it would likely be possible to add the notes field back to the "expand" thingy. This would probably be done in copy-attrs.component.html here:

Just adding, this is also an issue for SPARK libraries who upgraded to 3.11.1 yesterday.

[Brandt Ensor (baensor)]

Agree with Elizabeth above. Allbeit a small difference, it is one our library system uses daily so we noticed it today for the first time. We are not used to going to the worksheet so that will take some getting used too. Hopefully this can be fixed asap!

This is an issue for us, though I didn't realize it until after we upgraded and one of our librarians pointed it out.
