Re: commitments of outstading orders

["Felice K. Lowell" <felice.lowell@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Title:

I think you can estimate outstanding commitments by simply doing a boolean
search on order date within a certain time period and order status still
"o" or "c" i.e. open; or by received date = 00/00/00
.In addition, we use status "g" to indicate ongoing commitments - standing
orders and subscriptions;
status "c" is a new order for a serial;  when the title is paid for the first
time, the status automatically changes to status "d"   This is changed by
us (again using a boolean search) to a "g" at the start of the new fiscal
year.
