Kyle, I can see several use cases where this could be a desirable change... which is your partner looking for? 1. The particular order was transferred from one vendor to an affiliate vendor through some partnership process or relationship 2. The initial vendor was absorbed by another, existing (in Koha) vendor 3. The initial vendor changed their name or was absorbed by a new (to Koha) vendor The second two cases would be better handled by either merging or renaming vendors; I think only in the first case would the order actually need to be moved from one vendor to another. Since the connection to the vendor lives at the basket level, not the individual line item order level, you'd need to either create a new basket with the new vendor, or move the entire basket, and then keep track of all the pointers in the database. It adds an additional level of complexity. Perhaps someone from BibLibre could speak more to this, as they are the original developers, and to the best of my knowledge, French libraries are using Acquisitions most heavily so far.

Hello all, I have a librarian who would like to have the ability to modify a basket's booksellerid in the Acquisitions module. They want to be able to do this because they frequently have to change vendors after beginning the initial ordering process. I don't feel I'm am very knowledgeable about this module, and was hoping to get some opinions on whether adding this feature would be safe, or would it cause problems.
