Hide non-circulating library from 'pickup location' options for all requests as desired
Example 1: We had an issue where a staff member had chosen an incorrect library for the pickup location for move requests (when putting items on Course Reserves). The library they chose was our Resource Sharing Library (which we don't use at all and so is irrelevant to us in every way). I submitted a case to Support asking if we could somehow hide this library from view in the pickup location options in Alma, but was told that this wasn't possible.
I was advised to create an idea here relating to this problem, so here I am!
It would be great if we could restrict the options that are available for pickup locations when we are creating move requests in Alma.
Example 2: We are seeing this pickup location end up on resource sharing requests as well, and we do not want it there. Excluding this library entirely as a pickup location option would be very appreciated.

I strongly agreed with this suggestion.
Our user want to choose the pick up location for one of our branch library but they wrongly select "Resource Sharing Library"-- Our library has this item, ILL is not applicable. After launching Alma for 3 months, we received such wrong choices almost once a week. It is waste of time for both user and our staff to cancel and re-choose the right pick up location.
It would be great if Library would choose to hide the "Resource Sharing Library" or any not-in-use library location in the pick up location in Alma.
