PO Line Interface Bug

Discuss impact of PO Line Interface bug that is causing licenses to get deleted from electronic collections.

10

Laura

  • When a POL is created or saved using the new interface, whatever value is in the “License” field of the POL will override whatever value is in the “License” field of the attached electronic inventory, including blanks. This means that if a POL is saved without an attached license, it will remove the license that’s attached to its associated inventory.

  • CDL has submitted a high priority case with Ex Libris to address this issue and to come up with a list of NZ collections that have been affected this fiscal year.

  • Fix estimated for May 2024.

As a best practice, we recommend making sure that licenses are added to all POLs with attached electronic inventory.
