[Koha] adding existing items to acquisitions

[Katrin Fischer]

Hi Giuseppe,

do you mean adding orders and invoices for those items?

I think it would probably be possible, but there are quite a few tables 
involved. You'd need to make sure that:

- vendors exist or are created (aqbooksellers, aqcontacts)
- orders with order lines are created (aqbasket, aqorders)
- existing items are linked to the correct orders (aqorders_items)
- invoices are created and closed (aqinvoices)

There is no way from the GUI atm to link an existing item to a created 
order. I think you'd need some scripts to create the correct data and 
fill in the tables correctly. Especially being careful of the 
calculations with taxes etc.

Hope this helps,

Katrin
