[opal_migration_leads] order type "s" subscription in migration

[Marshall, Lauren]

Hi all,
This is a "just in case" FYI that we noticed with our order migration:

I noticed that all of our orders with order type "s = subscription" in
Sierra came over as PO line type = "other service - subscription" in Alma.
This was due to what we entered in the Migration Form, PO Line Type tab.
But many of these were print standing orders for us, and we wanted those to
show up as print continuous orders in Alma. Not sure if others had the same
issue, and it doesn't seem to be something you can change in Alma once it's
set.

In the final form submission, we plan to change the order type in Sierra to
"i = item s.o." and map that to Alma's "Print_CO" for these print standing
orders/subscriptions. Not sure how this impacts workflows after migration,
if at all, but we wanted to try to retain a better reflection of the type
of order these were.

Cheers, Lauren
