Acq: Is the New Brief Record Needed on the Acquisitions Menu?

[Jennifer Pringle]

Evergreen 3.11.1

Rather than replace the dojo New Brief Record interface that is accessed through Acquisitions -> New Brief Record what if we just removed it?

Is there a workflow where it's critical to start with the brief record rather than from within the selection list? (You can't add your brief record to a PO through this interface)

You can create new brief records from within both the new angular selection lists and purchase orders.

Thoughts?

It is part of Acq A, along with a bugfix to allow templates there, and Acq A is >thisclose< to partner testing.

Not that that precludes its removal, of course.

I'd be in favor of removing it. None of our libraries use selection lists in the first place, and IMO I think it's reasonable to start in your list first and *then* create an item to go in it.

Just adding my +1 to removing this from the main menu and pushing access to the feature from POs and Selection Lists

+1 for removing New Brief Record from the main menu.

Andrea mentioned earlier that this is part of the Angularization of Acq, and included in that is the ability to add a brief record directly to a PO (one of the points made in the initial report).

It's simple to remove, of course -- it's just a menu entry -- but I did want to mention that at least the brief-to-PO part will exist in the new code.
