http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=6819 --- Comment #2 from Nicole C. Engard <nengard@gmail.com> --- The basket does not have to be closed to receive items - it's good practice - but it's not required. So this is still an issue.

http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=6819 --- Comment #4 from mathieu saby <mathieu.saby@univ-rennes2.fr> --- Nicole, are you sure you can receive orders in receipt module when the basket is not closed? For me it would look like an issue... Mathieu -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the QA Contact for the bug. You are watching all bug changes.

http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=6819 --- Comment #6 from mathieu saby <mathieu.saby@univ-rennes2.fr> --- I admit being flexible can be a good thing, but sometimes there's too much way for doing things in Koha... If each library can have its own workflow, it is difficult to ensure code and feature consistency. OR if there is several way of doing a thing as important as placing an order, it must be syspref dependant. For me it is strange to have the ability to receive orders when basket is open. Because Koha is calculating late orders on the base of closing basket date (by the way, if basketgroups are used, the closing date of basketgroups should be use instead) I want to add a new column in the table home page for acquisitions, for orders in non closed baskets (because in my library, they are NOT sent, so they should be in a "prepared orders" column). I can make this syspref dependant of course... Regarding cancellation : maybe the problem is don't have a quick and easy way to cancel an order once the basket is closed. We need to go on Receipt page, create a invoice or reopen an existing one (even if there is no invoice in real life!), find the order and cancel it. For our colleagues, it is strange to go in "Receipt" page to cancel an order (like the 'Start' button on Windows to Shut down the computer), and strange to write an invoice number for that. An other issue : if you cancel an order before closing the basket, for us, it means the librarian changed his mind, and never send this order to the vendor. If we cancel AFER closing the basket, for us it means the vendor was not able to deliver the book. 2 very different things thats Koha manage the same way. So maybe the solution would be for example - to improve the way of cancelling ( 2 types of cancellation), and make it more obvious - to add a syspref for using the date of basket goup closing instead of baskets - to add a syspref for chosing if orders in open bakets could be received - to add a syspref for chosing if a basket not put in a basket group is to be considered closed or just in preparation (the case in my library) Sorry for these long and general remarks, they are not strictly related to the bug...
