What is the difference between closing and canceling a PO line?
Answer
Canceling a PO Line deletes the inventory associated with the order. This may be appropriate for one-time purchases, but will probably not be advised for continuous orders, since most libraries will want to retain a record of what had been purchased previously.
Alma default reasons for canceling are "library canceled" and "vendor canceled," but more can be added in configuration.
Closing a PO Line will close the PO Line, but does not delete the inventory. You may add notes may to provide reasons for closing.
