--- Comment #5 from Caroline Cyr La Rose <caroline.cyr-la-rose at inlibro.com> ---
Hi Nick!

1) I second David in saying that the vendor type should appear on the vendor
details page (supplier.pl). Right now, it only appears in booksellers.pl

2) I would add a description to the authorised value category. Maybe something
like
"Values that can be entered to fill in the 'Vendor type' field in the
acquisitions module, that can be used for statistical purposes"

(I copied from Bsort1, but feel free to put whatever description you think is
best)


To answer David' second comment, I think it is ok to have either free text or
authorised value. It is the same about everywhere in Koha: patron sort fields,
acquisitions statistical fields, drop downs in MARC frameworks, etc. In all
those cases, if you add values in the AV category, the free text field will
become a drop down and you cannot choose to have both free text and dropdown.
The only exceptions AFAIK are in the MARC frameworks, where it is now possible
to add values on the fly while cataloging; the suggestion approval/refusal
reasons, where there is an 'Other' option that, when selected opens a free text
field; and for the cities and towns in patron files, where you can choose from
the drop down or manually enter a city. But that last one (cities) is not
authorised values...
