[Wactclc-alma] Recalcitrant holdings record won't go away.

[Paula Laine]

Ryer,
I thought I would save this as a last resort because I don't want to affect our withdrawal records.
I tried again this morning and the bad holding went away like it is supposed to.

Thanks, ALMA.

Paula

Hi Paula,

This may not work, but it can't hurt to try.  Try adding a dummy item to that empty holding, then withdrawing the item, and selecting the option to delete bib with no other holdings.

I haven't run into this exact scenario, but for similar situations the above approach helped.

In the normal(!) course of business I ran across a record with 2 identical holdings records. I successfully transferred the item record to the holding I wanted to keep.

When I try to delete the empty holdings record I get a message " Holding 229977650002803 cannot be deleted as it has items loans".
No it does not. The item record I transferred was on loan but there was no problem moving it to the other holding.

Are there situations in ALMA where we have to wait until the next day to complete a task? When will this holding record know it is empty?

Not even 10 am yet,

Paula
