Hi all, There's a bit of contention going on over at bug 9775 and I wanted to ask the wider audience of librarians for their thoughts on acquisitions workflows in relation to this bug. Currently, the 'New order' page, whether it be via a suggestion, via an existing record or via another means, displays 'Actual cost' as an editable field. On further investigation, it appears that this field was intended to contain the final amount paid and not an estimation and as such the intention was for it to only be defined at the point of invoice/payments once it is fixed. Bug 9775 does exactly this, hides the field from display on the new order page. It also goes slightly further and prevents a prior paid price (for serial subscriptions) from carrying across when you are placing your next new order via a subscriptions search. My question to you is, is anyone using this field in a different way to my expectations/understanding? Would it cause anyone any issues to remove this field from the order screen so it is more clearly defined as to it's intended use only on the receipting pages? Are there any alternative improvements you would like to see instead of this change?
