Ability to change item's Material Type while in process
We would like the ability to change an item's Material Type while the item is in process. Currently, Alma does not allow this unless the item is in place. If the item is in process, we get the error message, "The item is not in place and there are requests registered for this item. Please handle the requests before moving or updating this item." Incorrect material type is part of the reason the item was sent to processing, so it seems strange the change cannot be made while the item is there.

I have found I can change the material type regardless of status by running the "Change Physical Items" job.

We also cannot change material type when the item is on loan or lost. We recently implemented Alma and it is frustrating to not be able to clean some of this stuff up.
