[27793] Store Contents of FTX segment of EDI quotes for inclusion in orders
This enhancement adds support for the EDI FTX (FreeText) segment in Edifact ordering. We simply store the segment and pass it around in the EDI process required.
[29670] Restore functionality broken by bug 27708 for AcqCreateItem set to "placing an order"
This patch restores the lost GIR segments in EDI messages generated by orders with items attached.
[29457] Fee Cancellation records the wrong manager_id
Prior to this patch inadvertently the field borrowers.userid was used to fill accountslines.manager_id. This should have been borrowernumber.
This report fixes that and prints a generic warning.
[29018] Deleting patrons from REST API doesn't do any checks or move to deletedborrowers
This fixes the REST API route for deleting patrons so that it now checks for guarantees, debts, and current checkouts. If any of these checks fail, the patron is not deleted.
