"Request" link when you have ordered a physical book
When you have ordered a physical book (one time order) it would be very helpful to get a Request link available on the Purchase order lines in Review page.
Then you could place a request more quickly. You don't have to search for the book again.
Hi everyone, thank you for supporting this idea.
I'm happy to announce it has been implemented as part of the February 2026 Alma release.
Refer to the Alma release notes for more information.
Best,
Alma Product

Same here! Both options are relevant.

Hello Zohar,
thank you for the question and from our point of view, both options would be helpful and relevant. Depending on whether we order an item because the title as such is needed or if we order a specific copy for a library user, we'd like to be able to place requests on the title level, but also for a specific item. So both, please! -

This request option would be very useful. At the moment you have to come out of Technical Services and go to Main Circulation Desk to make a request/reservation.
