Placing Holds from Purchase Orders

If you have the Circulation permission to place a hold request, you can place a bibliographic-level hold request from the Line Items view (view 2) of the Purchase Order workform, the Purchase Order Line Item workform, or a purchase order line item in the Find Tool results list. If you are placing holds on bibliographic records without linked item records, a message appears if the Hold option If no items are attached: Alert in Staff Client is checked in Polaris Administration. See Set Holds options: Enabling, Item Status Restrictions, First Available Copy.
