Work orders: unnecessary message "cancel requests" when moving an item with work order
When moving an item that has a work order from a location to another, the cataloguer receives a message "The item is in work order, moving the item will cancel the requests if the item is not requestable in the new location". Most of these messages are not pertinent, and we ask for the possibility to adjust it, so that it only appears when really necessary. It confuses cautious employees who are afraid of unintentionally deleting markers, or it is hardly noticed because too often wrong.

Dear all,
As changing the location of an item can impact work orders (not all work order departments can handle all items) - the alert is required and removing it could adversely impact libraries.
We did, however, identify an issue with this alert, which caused it to be shown also for changes that could not impact work order requests (Material Type, Item Policy, Description) - this was fixed in the March 24 release. Following the fix, this alert will no longer be displayed for changes that can't impact work order requests.
