Please add specific limitations for interlibrary loan requests in Primo VE between institutions.
We are a library consortium that conducts interlibrary loans through a fulfillment network. We hope that when a reader from Institution A requests a book from Institution B via Primo VE, if Institution A already has the book and it is available for loan, the request cannot be processed.
If Alma has this filtering function, it can not only save shipping costs but also reduce the waiting time for readers.

Using the Automatic Fulfillment Network (AFN) , a request is placed from the borrower's GetIt tab in Primo as a resource sharing request. As such, local display logic rules may be used to hide the resource sharing request based on local ownership.
Fulfillment Network requests that are placed directly at the lender's GetIt tab cannot consider availability at another institution.

Hi tangyiwen,
This is a great idea!
We are planning to start operating the Fulfilment network in two institutions and we need this improvement.
Therefore, I vote and enquired about this idea in the case and confirmed that an 'Internal development ticket' had been issued.
This is good news.On the other hand, we also believe that the display of the register button should be controlled by user groups, which we have submitted to the IDEA exchange.
Fulfilment Network - Control of the Register button display by user group of the logged-in user.
