Cataloging Processes

Alma Roles

Deleting item records requires the Physical Inventory Operator and Physical Inventory Operator Extended roles.
Deleting bibs and holdings within the metadata editor requires the Cataloger Extended role in combination with Cataloger, or the Catalog Manager role.

When deleting any physical inventory you must start with the smallest unit in the record hierarchy:

Delete items
   > then holdings
       >then bibs.

In Alma, 'deleting' records means 'withdrawing' them.
