[ALCTS-acqnet] question about conversion from Voyager to Alma

Good day,

 

Our library is going to convert from Voyager to Alma, perhaps as soon as the
end of September. The decision has been made to not "migrate any POs. [We]
will extract them in case we should need to reference them at any point." 

 

Has anyone done this? Once a purchase order is extracted, does it remain
accessible or will we need to extract it again if we need it a later date?
There is a function in Voyager's cataloging module which allows one to go
from the catalog record to the PO in acquisitions (if there is one attached
to the bibliographic record). I cannot imagine trying to work without that
capability. One can also go from a line in a PO to the bibliographic record
associated with that line item.

 

It makes me wonder what may be done with cataloging records. 

 

Please respond to me off-list if you prefer.
