    Question

    How can I remove some of the very many PO Line types which appear in the “Purchase Type” pull down box when I create a new order?
    For example I want to remove “sound recording” and “remote computer file - subscription”.
    I want only the following:

    • Physical – One Time
    • Physical – Standing order monograph
    • Electronic title – One Time
    • Electronic title – Subscription
    • Access Service – Subscription
    • Database – One Time
    • Database – Subscription
    • Database Service – One Time
    • Electronic title – Standing order
    • Other service – one time
    • Other service – Subscription
    • Physical – Standing order non monograph
    • Physical - Subscription

    Answer

    This can be done by deactivating the ones you do not want.
    You can deactivate them by accessing the table at “Acquisitions > configuration menu > purchase orders > POLine Types”
    For each line you want to remove first click “customize” then click the yellow check mark to deactivate it.
