Items - Delete (Withdraw)

In Alma, withdrawing and deleting an item are the same thing.

Although withdrawn items do not appear in Alma and are not published to Blacklight, staff can view a historical record of these items in Analytics reports.

While withdrawing an item, you should delete holdings records that do not have any remaining active items attached. Suppression should only be used for holdings/items retained in the catalog that should not be visible to patrons.

Permission

To withdraw/delete physical resources, you must have the following roles:

• Physical Inventory Operator
• Physical Inventory Operator Extended (for deleting holdings only)

Withdraw the last item on a holding
