Agree 1000% Our Damaged items *that are the only item attached to a bib record* are showing in Vega as On Order items and holds are allowed. NOT TRUE!!! Many of these items will be weeded. In most cases we are not reordering the items. We do not want holds on items that we are taking out of the collection.

We want to suppress all items with Damaged status from display regardless of how many items are attached to a bib record.

This idea may be akin to this one about developing Vega's logic for when to show On Order:

Vega does not ingest Sierra or Polaris Purchase Order information. Vega only ingests Bibliographic records and attached item data.

The Material Type setting: Request Bibs With No Items that can be set to Allow/Don't Allow for each Material Type or Type of Material in your ILS is what controls a green Availability status of On Order when there are no items present on a displayed bib record. This toggle also controls whether or not a Place Hold Get It button displays when a bib of this Material Type or Type of Material has no items attached.

Yes, it's an issue for us particularly when we only have one item attached to a bib and that one item is missing/billed. We have debated whether to show items with missing status in our catalogue or suppress them from view.

This "on order" display has been a problem for us as well. We usually suppress item records that are getting withdrawn until we gather monthly statistics before batch deleting them. When no items are available, Vega seems to look for any attached order --even if that order was received years ago. I like this enhancement request but see a potential problem. We want our newly received orders to be available for placing holds even if item records have not been created yet.
