Can Item Status be Checked in Evaluation of Items that Fulfill Hold Request?

Question

There is a bibliographic record with 2 items.
* 1 item can be loaned and can be requested.
* 1 item cannot be loaned and cannot be requested.
But, when booking this title, the booking is happening on both items.
Why?

Answer

In the xxx50/tab/tab100 file, the parameter HOLD-REQUEST-ITM-STATUS must be equal Y.
This setting forces Aleph to consider Item Status when deciding if an item can be a match that can be used to fulfill a request for an item, that is, a "like" item.

Additional Information

See also xxx50/tab/tab_hold_request for settings related to checking hold requests (for example, check_hold_request_o).
