Items should not be able to be checked out if they haven't been received
If an item isn't fully received at the receiving desk and is still showing as in the Acquisitions Tech Services department, items should not be able to be checked out to patrons, or they should be automatically marked as received and a work order created so they are routed back to the Acquisitions Tech Services department once returned. If items aren't fully or correctly received due to human error but are checked out to patrons, they may never be thoroughly received because they are likely to just be re-shelved when they are returned. It shouldn't be possible to complete fulfillment actions on an item that, according to Alma, doesn't yet exist in the inventory.

Does not the 'Item has not been received by Acquisitions Department' block preference cover that ? See https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Alma/Product_Documentation/010Alma_Online_Help_(English)/030Fulfillment/080Configuring_Fulfillment/Configuring_Loans
