Acquisitions - December 2017 Enhancements

Option to Send/Not Send Vendor Letters for PO Lines

When defining a PO line, you can now determine whether to send a letter to the vendor. For each acquisition method, there are now two options: one that sends a letter to the vendor and one that does not. By default, the new options that were created to support this functionality are disabled. They may be enabled from the Acquisition Method code table (Configuration Menu > Acquisitions > Purchase Orders > Acquisition Method).  

Once the options have been enabled, they are displayed in the Acquisition method drop-down list in the Purchase Order Line Details.

See Configuring Acquisition Methods.

Remove Historical License References

 Idea Exchange: In the Inventory tab of the license (Acquisitions > Acquisitions Infrastructure > Licenses), a resource may now be removed from the license history.
