API versioning (especially user API)
API updates should be rolled out with an opt-in and out option. So that developers can test and adopt new versions and roll back if problems occur.

Add MARC namespace to Alma OAI feed
In our Alma OAI feed, tags lack the marc namespace prefix, where the same prefixes are present in our current Voyager OAI. That is:
Alma OAI: <controlfield tag="005">20231016143437.0</controlfield>
Voyager OAI: <marc:controlfield tag="005">20231016143437.0</controlfield>Can we add the namespace prefix?

Enhancing Alma with ERP System Integration for Streamlined Operations
Alma is a robust library management system, but its potential could be further maximized by integrating ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system functionalities. By incorporating ERP features, Alma could streamline financial management, procurement, and resource allocation across library operations. This integration would not only improve efficiency but also provide a unified platform for managing budgets, tracking expenditures, and optimizing resource allocation. Additionally, an ERP system could enhance reporting capabilities, offering deeper insights into library data that could inform strategic decision-making. This approach would position Alma as a more comprehensive tool, catering to the evolving needs of modern libraries.

API to get and upload Overdue and Lost Loan Profiles
It would be great to have an API to get a list of all Overdue and Lost Loan Profiles as well as being able to get and upload individual profiles.
We have 300 libraries, each of which has 3 or more Overdue and Lost Loan Profiles. Being able to manipulate the profiles with an API would be of great help in keeping track of all these profiles.

schedule job api support "Reload & Delete"
Currently there are api interface to trigger running of schedule job. However there are situation where OAI repositories does not support tracking deleted items, therefore, the current solution is to update import profile harvest start date and run "Delete & Reload" manually from time to time. We would like to suggest to include support to update import profile parameter and running of "Delete & Reload" job.
