Allowing the relink of a holding from a bib record to another maintaining the call number even if the location is the same.
Now in Alma if you try to relink a holding with the same location (ex.: ABC) and call number 123 (1) from a record to another that have already a holding with the same location (ABC) and call number 123 (2), the holding with location ABC and call number 123 (1) disappear and everything is under the location ABC and call number 123 (2),.
This happens with a relink of a POL or an item.
We want to maintain the call number 123 (1).
If it is not possible to do it automatically at least a pop up message that allow me to choose if I want to keep the holding with call number 123 (1) or not.

The explanation for this behaviour is this one:
when relinking PO-Lines in Alma, the system checks if there are existing holdings for the same Library Location. It does not consider the Call Number during this process. This means that Alma's design focuses on matching the location rather than differentiating holdings based on Call Numbers.
