00:16:22 George Williams: Congratulations
00:16:44 Judy: No. Sounds like a great idea. Patron gets a msg when suggestion is accepted or denied.

00:31:01 George Williams: https://koha-us.org/conference2021/
00:35:35 Judy: With EDi ordering and receiving, it's a breeze
00:36:09 Monique Prive: order and receiving without EDI - Amazon and Gobi
00:36:26 Stephanie D.: With EDI receiving, are you receiving before the items actually arrive?
00:36:59 Kelly Davenport: we order and receive with EDI. I'm new to this job too :)
00:37:14 Jason: https://koha-us.org/learn/acquisitions/
00:37:15 Judy: with EDI, we receive when items arrive and we download marc records
00:38:20 Judy: Baker and Taylor and Midwest
00:39:24 Kelly Davenport: same vendors here - download the marc. Have started a new process where we can get the book out before it's received in Koha. receive from the invoice.
00:42:13 Judy: with EDI you can receive 200 items as fast as you can receive one - with the click of a button
00:42:27 Kelly Davenport: Wow! that would be nice!
00:47:30 Kelly Davenport: Thank you everyone.
00:47:37 Stephanie D.: Thank you!
A
Welcome
to
the
july
meeting
of
the
the
sorry
acquisition
sig
for
kohai
u.s,
we
didn't
have
any
outstanding
issues
in
the
last
meeting
to
go
over
old
business
kinds
of
stuff.
So
we'll
just
kind
of
I
I
just
picked
a
couple
topics
that
I
know
are
generally
there's
interest
in
to
discuss,
but
we
don't
have
to
be
limited
to
those
topics.
So
the
first
one
is
purchase
suggestions.
A
B
B
That's
really
clunky
for
us
is
placing
the
hold
afterwards,
since
we
don't
use
the
rest
of
the
acquisitions
module.
I
don't
know
if
there's
like
a
component
in
there,
but
for
us
we
just
have
to
kind
of
keep
track
once
it's
ordered
put
a
sticky
note
on
it
and
then
place
the
hole
right
after
it's
cataloged.
So
I
I
would
say
that's
a
an
enhancement
that
would
be
nice
if
we
could
tie
the
holes
to
the
purchase
suggestions
directly.
C
Yes
and
we
actually
have
a
development,
we
funded
a
development
with
bywater
on
that
to
automatically
place
a
hold
for
the
patron.
That
submitted
the
suggestion
it
is
just
still
listed
as
in
development.
I
think,
and
nothing's
really
happened.
You
know
hasn't
started
yet
I'm
trying
to
look
at
my
ticket.
C
A
C
And
I
commented
on
that:
one
rhonda:
you
commented
on
that
one
yeah,
but
yeah.
That's
that's
the
part
that
we
actually,
we
would
really
want,
because
our
patrons
you
know
say
I'm
suggesting
this,
and
I
want
to
be
first
in
in
line
for
it
and
we
get
so
many
suggestions
and
we
don't
really
know
exactly
when
it's
going
to
be
ordered
and
right
now
our
our
workflow
is
just
to
tell
them
check
the
you
know,
we'll
order.
D
You
know
advice
on
how
to
use
it,
so
I've
got
some
libraries
that
use
it
and
check
it
all
the
time
and
keep
their
suggestion.
Cues
clean
and
I've
got
other
libraries
that
never
look
at
it
and
there
are
suggestions
in
there
that
are
that
are
ancient
and
and
there's
there's
no
desire
on
their
part
to
have
yet
another
task
to
do.
A
A
C
I
don't
know
they
must
spend
all
day
entering
suggestions
and,
and
one
of
our
adult
services
librarians
also
sort
of
thinks
that
some
of
the
patrons
maybe
view
purchase
suggestions,
as
they
probably
know.
We're
gonna
order
the
next
patterson
book,
but
they
suggest
it
anyway
because
they
think
they'll
be
first.
C
A
A
It
yeah
that
was
that
was
something
that
came
up
in
a
discussion
at
our
library
about
the
automatic
holds
is
if
people
figured
that
out,
would
they
just
start
putting
in
purchase
suggestions
for
all
their
favorite
authors
just
so
that
they
would
get
on
the
list?
You
know
and
then
we'd
have
to
deal
with
it.
We
do
limit
them
like,
like
you
said
we
we
limit
to
three
in
a
rolling
30-day
period.
A
A
E
E
But
it
worked.
We
said
that
if
you
asked
for
something
you
actually
were
the
first
one
who
got
it,
it
was
kind
of
it
was
really
cool.
I
was
in
university
library,
so
it
was
a
little
easier
to
control
who
was
requesting
stuff
because
we
will
but
yeah,
but
yeah,
I'm
looking
forward
to
the
the
autumn,
auto
replies,
because
right
now
we
have
a
wufoo
form
that
people
fill
out
for
suggestions
and
their
requests
just
go
into
either,
because
we
can't.
A
A
A
Can
I'm
just
going
to
share
my
screen
here?
Real
quick,
and
so
this
is
our
purchase.
Suggestion
page
and
we've
got
the
pending
the
accepted
the
rejected,
and
then
the
collection
developers
all
have
a
tab,
and
so
in
the
pending
we've
got
a
person,
part-time
person
who
goes
through
and
looks
at
these
and
assigns
them
to
the
collection
developer
and
then
the
collection
developers
go
in.
So
I
can
just.
I
can
just
go
to
my
tab.
A
A
But
that's
that's
kind
of
how
we
try
to
stay
on
top
of
it.
The
collection
developers
will
check
this.
You
know
once
a
week
or
whatever,
but
we've
got
one
person,
that's
monitoring
the
pending
and,
and
you
know,
kind
of
going
through
it
just
all
she
does.
Is
you
know
which
collection?
Would
this
go
in?
Okay,
I'll
sign
it
to
that
collection
developer
and
they
and
she
will
also
you
know,
low-hanging
fruit.
A
A
So
that
is
what
what
we
do
for
workflow,
I
guess
would
be.
You
know
just
to
make
sure
that
everybody's
kind
of
staying
on
top
before
we
split
that
it
all
up
into
tabs
for
each
of
the
collection
developers.
That
pending
thing
would
get
pretty
long.
Sometimes-
and
it
was
you
know,
especially
if
one
person
went
on
vacation
for
a
week,
you
know
all
their
stuff
would
hang
out
there
and
and
you'd
have
to
weed
through
it
all
to
try
and
find
what
what
was
new
for
you.
C
We
do
similar
to
what
you're
doing
rhonda
our
adult
services
librarian
goes
through
and
looks
to
see.
Who
does
it
seem?
You
know
what
collection
does
it
seem
like
it
really
goes
to
and
instead
of
tabs
being
signed
for
each
of
them,
she
goes
in
and
just
picks
the
fund,
and
then
all
of
our
funds
are
like
completely
coordinated
with
the
collectors
so
like
I
do
romance.
A
A
C
A
staff
member,
if
there's
a
system,
preference
or
something
yes,
there
is,
but
it
was,
it
was
sort
of
a.
I
don't
know
I'm
trying
to
remember
it
was
like
an
all
or
nothing
thing.
It
wasn't
very
you
couldn't
really.
You
know
refine
it
to
get
it
so
that
I
guess
everybody
would
get
the
email
or
something
like
that,
and
I
know
we
didn't
set
it
up
because
it
was
kind
of
like
well.
That
would
be
worse
than
us
just
going
in
and
checking
and
seeing
if
there
was
anything
there.
C
A
Yeah
no-
and
I
mentioned
oh,
let's
see
so
judy.
Where
did
you
go
there?
You
are
so
it
sounds
like
it's.
A
great
idea
patrons
get
a
message
when
suggestions
are
accepted
and
denied
yeah,
so
there's
there's
a
way
to
connect
a
purchase
suggestion
to
a
order,
if
you're
not
doing
edi,
if
you're
doing
edi
that
function
isn't
there.
A
So
we
and
two
other
libraries
have
put
a
bug
or
done
a
development
with
bywater
that,
I
think,
is
still
in
the
new
phase
to
make
that
connection
so
that
they
would
at
least
get
an
email
that
says.
Oh
the
book's
been
ordered
or
whatever
it
is,
and
then
oh,
it's
it's
arrived
of
course
the
the
gotcha
there
with
edi
and
receiving
is
you
use.
We
get
the
invoice
electronically
and
the
books
through
snail
mail.
A
So
there's
a
three-day
difference
there
or
whatever
so
we'll
have
to
word
the
notice
in
a
way
that
says
it'll
be
here
in
three
days
or
something
like
that
and
then
so
they
that
way,
some
it
would
at
least
help
to
keep
it
top
of
mind
that
they
put
that
purchase.
Suggestion
in
because
sometimes
you
know,
they'll
do
a
purchase
suggestion
and
then
we'll
go
back
and
look
later
and
realize
that
no
one
has
ever
checked
the
book
out.
A
A
B
Wasn't
there
discussion
at
one
of
these
meetings
a
while
back
where
someone
was
talking
about
kind
of
rearranging
repurposing,
the
workflow,
so
that
purchase
suggestions
were
more
of
like
a
request
manager
and
then
they
could
decide
to
ill
it
or
purchase
it
was
that?
Does
anybody
remember
that?
What
did
we
hear
back
on.
F
B
D
A
Yeah
that
must
have
been
one
I
missed,
because
I
don't
remember
that,
but
that's
something
that
we
have
talked
about
here
too.
You
know
it's
like.
If
we
decide
not
to
purchase
it,
we
just
send.
You
know
the
little
note
that
goes
with
it
is
you
know,
whatever
reason
we're
not
you
know
not
available
from
our
vendor
or
whatever
it
is,
and
then
and
then
we
give
them
the
link.
You
know
for
the
purchase
suggestion,
so
they
can
go
and
put
it
in
themselves,
but
it
would
be.
A
D
A
A
There
we
go
yeah,
she
was
doing
a
whole
bunch
of
stuff
process-wise
because
they
were
getting
their
staff
reduced
in
the
technical
services
area.
So
she
was
trying
to
find
all
kinds
of
ways
to
reduce
their.
I
know
streamline
their
workflow
and
and
all
that
stuff.
So
that
would
be.
That
would
be
interesting.
A
Yes,
so
I
got
to
put
in
my
plug
for
koha
u.s
conference
yay.
So
the
koha
us
conference
is
a
conference
we
hold
annually
when
there's
not
a
pandemic
in
person.
We
still
held
it
last
year.
It
was
just
virtual
okay.
We
got
links
in
the
in
the
chat
here
and
it's
a
great
place,
if
you're
just
to
build
relationships
with
other
coha
libraries,
especially
if
you're
new,
not
that.
B
A
Pointing
at
felicity
at
all,
but
it's
a
great
place
to
chat
with
people,
get
to
know
them
so
that
when
you
come
to
these
kinds
of
meetings,
you've
got
kind
of
a
history
going
with
people.
You
know
barbara
is
just
literally
up
the
road
from
us.
Well,
three
hours
up
the
road
but
yeah
up
the
road,
and
you
know
jason
and
george.
I've
met
at
the
quahog
conferences.
Margaret
I've
met
at
quahog
conferences,
so
it's
a
great
place
to
get
to
know
people
and
to
ask
questions
and
to
learn.
A
A
A
It
is
in
mckinney
tex
texas,
which
is
mid
continent
instead
of
west
coast,
like
the
last
ones,
have
all
been
so
it
is
september,
21,
24,
yeah,
21-24
and
the
sign
up
is
open.
Registration,
I
guess
is
the
word
is
open
and
if
you
are
a
cohab
member,
you
get
a
discount,
but
if
you're
not-
and
you
sign
up
for
to
be
a
member
of
koha
us-
you
can
get
a
discount
on
the
registration
fees
or
you
get
a
discount
on
your
koha
u.s
membership.
A
A
Just
curious,
what
kind
of
a
mix
we've
got
out
there
so
round
rock?
Does
edi
ordering
and
receiving
for
our
three
main
vendors
obviously
places
like
amazon,
and
I
don't
know
brown
to
stay
bound,
don't
offer
edi,
so
we
ordered
those
regularly
regular
yay
judy
says
they
do
edi
ordering
and
receiving,
and
it's
a
breeze.
E
A
Yeah
well,
there's
a
couple,
a
couple:
videos
out
that
show
the
edi
process
and
maybe
even
the
regular
process.
I
know
I've
done
a
couple
of
them
at
conferences
in
the
past
and
you
know
they're,
I'm
just
thinking,
there's
probably
been
a
few
changes,
since
those
were
done
in
in
koha
to
you
know,
streamline
things
a
little
bit,
but
that's
one
thing.
B
A
A
A
A
G
A
G
Okay
here
and
so
when
we
had
been
voices,
and
so
we
sort
of
got
a
new
process
and
it's
been
working
pretty
good,
where
we
don't
have
to
worry
about,
if
they're
actually
received
in
coho.
If
there's
a
book
with
high
demand
holds,
we
can
get
it
out
and
then
just
check
off
that
we
got
it
move
the
book
along
to
the
patrons
and
then
they
can
receive
from
the
invoice.
It's
sort
of
at
a
different
pace.
G
A
Yeah
so
yeah
we,
we
don't
actually
sit
down
and
receive
items
right.
So
that's
the
the
joy
of
edi
okay
all
right!
Thank
you.
Sorry
about
that.
No,
that's
that's
good,
but
I
that
totally
makes
sense
if
you're
not
using
edi
to
just
you
know,
if
you're
getting
backed
up
on
receiving
just
get
the
books
out
there
yeah.
I
don't.
G
E
A
A
If
not,
does
anybody
have
a
topic
that
they
would
like
to
discuss
next
month
and
if
we
need
to
get
a
special
guest
speaker
in
we
can
line
that
up?
You
know
we
can
always
get
a
trainer
from
bywater
educator
from
bywater
or
developer
or
whatever.
If
you
know,
we
want
to
pick
the
brains
of
an
educator
and
see
what
they
can
come
up
with.
You
know
helping
clarify
questions
and
things
like
that.
A
F
A
A
A
So,
but
yeah
if
in
september,
when
we
get
together
for
the
conference
there
will,
there
is
a
time
set
aside
for
the
sig
to
the
each
of
the
sigs
to
meet,
and
you
know
some
topics,
maybe
work
better
face
to
face
where
we
can.
You
know,
draw
on
a
napkin
or
whatever
we
need
to
do
to
work
through
stuff
and
yeah.
A
If
you've
got
some
ideas
about
what
that
is
I'll,
you
know
I
will
come
up
with
something,
but
it
would
be
nicer
to
have
the
group
come
up
with
some
ideas
of
what
we
want
to
talk
about.
Plus
there
may
be,
I
don't
know.
Maybe
margaret
can
tell
me
most
years
there's
somebody
from
the
development
team
at
bywater
at
the
conference,
so
you
know
we
can
sort
of
bend
their
ear
if
we
need
to
so
not
a
few
people.
F
A
Okay,
so
I
think
for
next
meeting
I'll
invite
an
educator
from
my
water
to
come
and
we
can
ask
questions.
Maybe
you
know
they
can
do
like
I'll.
Ask
them
to
do
just
like
a
basic.
You
know
this
is
what
acquisitions
looks
like
and
then
we
can
sometimes
watching
it.
That's
what
stimulates
your
questions
and
things
like
that,
so
we'll
go
from
there
all
right.
