[Wactclc-alma] multiple temporary locations?

Can a physical item have more than one temporary location in Alma?

Typically our new books first go to a temporary location of New Books Display before going to the permanent Main Collection location after a couple of weeks on display.

In the case of poetry books, we are currently putting them "semi-permanently" in a temporary location of "Poetry Collection" as we try out a new physical space in the library that is separate from our Main Collection.

However as with all our new books, new poetry books first go to the New Books Display before being shelved.... But today I notice that all of the poetry books on our new book display are showing in Alma as "In Transit" to the poetry collection temporary location, rather than being in the New Books Display temporary location. Wondering if the dual temporary locations is at play, or if we need to alter some part of our workflow, at least for the poetry books...

One example is the book, Ghost Fishing.
