[Koha] EDI and managing suggestions

[BOUIS Sonia]

Hello,
We are not using EDI yet in my University but we have an exchange of data with our supplier that is not far from an EDI system to manage the orders.
My colleagues are ordering directly on the website of our supplier and are receiving the biblio records through a ISO2709 file. They have just to create a basket and upload this file to create their order in koha. After that, we send the koha EAN-ordernumber text file to our supplier.
It's so easy for them that they are complaining about the suggestions management in Koha. If they want to keep the link between the suggestion, the acquisition, the biblio record and the item, they have to manage all the suggestion twice. One time in Koha and one time on our supplier website. But it's the only way to notify the patron when his suggestion is ordered and received.

I am wondering if people that use the EDI process in koha have found a way to link suggestions to acquisitions.
I've seen that a Bugzilla tickect have been opened that could apparently solve our problem : https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=19358
Is anyone working on this ?

Thank you for your feedbacks.

Cheers
