Those are really good points and they are very helpful. I've
passed this, and Laurence's, points onto our partner library to
check if they would like to proceed with sponsoring this
enhancement.
As I am about to go on my Italy annual leave Aleisha, or Wainui,
will likely write this enhancement so you might see a bug report
from them for this in the near future!
Thanks again for your response.
Hi Alex,
it was really nice to get to know you in person :)
Q1) As others have pointed out, you can already change the
quantity if items are created 'on receive' or 'in cataloguing',
so it would make sense to extend this to 'on order' as well. I
assume it was not implemented initially, because it would have
complicated the development.
Q2) I was thinking about this one for a bit:
* EDIFACT: I am not sure how this would/could affect the
EDIFACT ordering process, but as it's already possible now in 2
out of 3 cases, this is probably not a blocker.
* Logging: It looks like changing the quantity is already
logged as a change on the order line. So that's good.
Q3) If we could display the same item form and controls as when
creating the order, it would also allow to update and pick
specific items to be removed from the order. Also it would give
us a consistent GUI.
Hope this helps!

Hi Koha community,
I really enjoyed meeting many of you at
KohaCon in Finland for the first-time in person!!
I have a question. We have a partner library
who is interested in sponsoring an enhancement so they can
change the quantity in order lines of open baskets.
Currently, if you click the 'Modify' link for
an order line in an open basket and change the value in the
Quantity text input a JavaScript popup appears telling you
"You can't add a new item, please create a new order line" -
see attached screenshot.
Looking at the code I can see that JavaScript
popup is coming from https://github.com/Koha-Community/Koha/blob/1403fd847a66432efda2c8724f61bcc6e413cda9/koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/acqui/neworderempty.tt#L144
Before we go any further with starting work
on making a bug report and writing this enhancement I wanted
to check a few things with the community to make sure we
start on the right track:
Q1) Is adding the ability to change the
quantity of order lines in open baskets a bad idea?
Q2) Is there anything we should keep in mind?
Q3) Do you have any suggestions of how to
approach writing this enhancement?
Any feedback, and suggestions, would be much
appreciated.
Kind regards,
Alex
